Evaluation on the operational effects of U-turn movement

Nowadays, people always want to move clearly to their destination. Many road and junction were upgraded especially in urban area because of the capacity of vehicles increase from time to time. So, it is important to monitor and analyse the road that can make congestion so that it can be improved by...
