Traffic

Traffic refers to the movement of vehicles, pedestrians, ships, aircraft, and other mobile conveyances, along routes, typically for purposes of transportation. Traffic can be separated into the categories of land traffic, air traffic, and water traffic.

Land Traffic

Land traffic includes traffic that occurs on roads, railways, and off-road terrain. It is the most common form of traffic and includes a variety of vehicles such as cars, trucks, bicycles, and pedestrians.

Road Traffic

Road traffic is the most common form of land traffic. It is regulated by traffic laws and rules that are enforced by traffic police. Road traffic can be further divided into motorized traffic and non-motorized traffic.

Motorized Traffic

Motorized traffic includes all vehicles that are powered by an engine or motor, such as cars, trucks, motorcycles, and buses. These vehicles are typically used for personal transportation, commercial transportation, and public transportation.

Non-Motorized Traffic

Non-motorized traffic includes pedestrians, bicycles, and other forms of human-powered transportation. These forms of traffic are typically slower than motorized traffic and are often separated from motorized traffic by sidewalks, bike lanes, and other infrastructure.

Rail Traffic

Rail traffic includes trains and trams that travel on railway tracks. Rail traffic is typically used for long-distance transportation of goods and passengers, as well as local transportation in some cities.

Air Traffic

Air traffic includes all aircraft that are in flight or are operating on the ground at airports. Air traffic is regulated by air traffic control, which coordinates the movement of aircraft to prevent collisions.

Water Traffic

Water traffic includes ships and boats that travel on bodies of water. Water traffic is used for transportation of goods and passengers, as well as recreational purposes.

Traffic Management

Traffic management is the organization and control of traffic, typically through the use of traffic control devices such as traffic lights, road signs, and road markings. Traffic management also includes the design and operation of traffic facilities such as roads, intersections, and parking lots.
