Abstract: Traffic congestion at signalized intersections is a critical issue in urban areas, leading to increased travel time, fuel consumption, and environmental pollution. This study presents an optimized traffic signal timing plan for Vyapam Square, Bhopal, using Webster’s formula, a widely recognized method for minimizing delays at signalized intersections. The research involves field data collection, including traffic volume counts, saturation flow rates, and existing signal timings. Using this data, the optimal cycle length and green time allocation for each phase are computed, ensuring a balanced distribution of green time while minimizing average vehicle delay. A graphical representation of traffic flow versus delay is provided to visualize the efficiency improvements before and after optimization.
