THE INFLUENCE OF ROUTE GUIDANCE SYSTEM ON HIGHWAY 4 BETWEEN JARVENPAA AND MANTSALA

VALTATIE 4:N JARVENPAA-MANTSALA - VALIN MUUTTUVAN REITTIOPASTUSJARJESTELMAN VAIKUTUKSET

The route guidance system was installed to the highway 4 to improve traffic flow on the road during peak hours. The route guidance equipment guides the drivers to use an alternate route (main road 140). The field studies were made before and after the installation of the system. The percentage of the vehicles turning to the alternative route from the Jarvenpaa junction was very high during the Midsummer peak hours and on Friday in August during the peak hours when people were going to their summer cottages for the weekend. The road also looked very crowded. During the after studies the percentage of turning vehicles was higher than during the before period.
