Evidence from Assosa Town | | Author Name : | | | KOKEB ZENA BESHA | | Publisher : | | | Bridge Center | | Article URL : |  | | | Abstract : | | | Road network growth may be understood as a process of
addition such that the road networks are progressively added within a
functional area joined together in a system. The general objective of
this study is to evaluate the road network performance of Assosa town
using the pre defined indicators. The affectivity will be expressed by
five indicators as road density, serviceability, performance, traffic
density and connectivity.
Required data was collected from primary and secondary
sources. The primary data were obtained from field measurements.
Field survey was carried out at the study area, using the Street Map
(2016) as guide. The work in this study also covers a literature study,
collection of data and related regulation, indicator development, and
evaluation of road network performance for the study area. The result
of the study revealed that the road density is 2.87/km, road
performance is 0.264, traffic load is 0.0329, road serviceability is
0.0015 and road connectivity is 0.415. The study concluded that the
performance of the road network in the regional capital is not
satisfactory except the road density. The study suggests that total
length of paved and good condition roads must be increase to attain an
optimum road network. | | Keywords : | | | Urban Road, Road Network, Road Performance, Urban
