ABSTRACT:
A road traffic control method is provided which can continue to maximize the number of vehicles allowed to run on a road and shorten time required for a vehicle to reach a destination, by preventing and relieving congestion. The method controls traffic of vehicles running on each of a plurality of parallel running roads. Each road is made connected at an interval of a predetermined distance, and at least one of the plurality of roads has a plurality of lanes. The method includes the steps of: detecting traffic of vehicles running in two counter directions on each road, at a position before at least one connected point of each of the plurality of roads; and changing ratio between the numbers of lanes of at least one of the plurality of roads, in accordance with the detected traffic of vehicles running in the two counter directions.
