Abstract

The continuous and increasing growth in the number of vehicles within cities necessitates the necessity of developing of road infrastructure to reduce traffic congestion. This is done by choosing a set of procedures to organize existing streets, increase their capacity, and improve safetylevels, including the use of a one-way street system. The one-way street system helps achieve higher speeds and pass larger traffic volumes, in addition to increasing road safety and reducing traffic accidents.

The aim of this paper is to evaluate the one-way street network in the center of Latakia city, and analyze this network by using a set of criteria to study the connectivity of communication of the studied street network.

The results showed that the using one-way streets in the center of Latakia city helped reduce traffic conflict points at intersections and provided a good level of service on the streets despite the high traffic loads. Analysis of all measures of connectivity and communication indicated a weakness in network connectivity and a need for additional links. The results also indicated that the network is weak in terms of dispersion due to the large clustering of nodes within the studied network.
