a) Level of service in each lane at every intersection consist mostly at F level.

b) During the peak hour, we can concluded that Batu Pahat approach - through, left turn
at Lane 1 consists the highest level of flow which is 861.62 pcu/hr. This is due the
highest number of traffic volume which is 891 veh/hr.
c) Recommendation had been suggested to improve traffic flow, which are:
- traffic signalization
- lane configuration
