Al-Bayaa Al-Majsir intersection in Baghdad, a study in transportation geography

Traffic congestion is a phenomenon that has emerged on our daily life, especially after 2003, due to the openness in economic life and the improvement of the standard of living, which in turn has been reflected in an increase in the purchasing power of the individual for vehicles, in addition to opening the door to importing various types of vehicles at prices that are almost suitable for the purchasing power of the Iraqi citizen, and thus this phenomenon was reflected A negative reflection on the reality of daily life, due to the disproportionate increase in the number of vehicles and the absorptive capacity of the road network in Baghdad, which led to the emergence of the phenomenon of traffic congestion increasing day by day.And because the solutions available to reduce the severity of this phenomenon are limited and intersect with the uses of the land surrounding the roads or intersections, the subject of the research is that the traffic intersections constitute a point of suffocating congestion as they are a crossroads of roads and move to the places surrounding the intersection, so some intersections are difficult to solve their traffic problem because of the conflict of changing their geometric shape with the activities Surrounding it, therefore, the Municipality of Baghdad decided to find solutions commensurate with the available capabilities and that are commensurate with some intersections, but not all, and among these intersections (Al-Bayaa Intersection), one of the important intersections in Baghdad, near Karkh, which was witnessing stifling traffic jams, and after its conversion to the intersection of the bridge, the subject of the study that In it, we will address the location of the intersection and its importance, the traffic movement of vehicles passing through it, the delay time for vehicles, the efficiency of the bridge intersection in the flow of vehicular traffic, the waiting time for vehicles, the level of service, and the findings and recommendations of the research mechanism.
