Abstract/Summary
This study presents underlying evidence of the behavior of Filipino drivers in Metro Manila as they approach different types of intersection and performing different kinds of maneuvers. The objective is to successfully arrive at a critical gap value of the vehicles at every type of intersection. The group conducted observations of certain intersections (i.e., atypical, unsignalized T-intersection) by taking two-hour footages of the traffic from an good vantage point. The group has used the Raff’s method to determine the critical gap values. Results show that the drivers have relatively acceptable critical gap values according to the 1994 Highway Capacity Manual, considering the circumstances from the various intersections.
