Abstract: Al-Kut city, like many other Iraqi cities, has a thorough research literature in proposals for traffic control or transportation planning that consider the growth of the population, employment, and car ownership each year, all of which have an effect on daily activities. day after day. Utilizing programs likes (TransCAD, GIS), the network is utilized to evaluate the patterns of current traffic flow. and gather various types of data, including for the work of the extensive road network, field surveys are performed. The evaluation's findings indicated that the majority of the city's roads had a level of service type (A), with the exception of Al-Naseej, Baghdad-Al-Kut, Al-Tarabiya, and Al-Harah streets, which have service-level types (F) at which the ratio of vehicles to road capacity (v/c) is above one. On that premise, it was planned to build new roads to shift the course of external - external trips, as well as add lanes, to alleviate the congestion that had developed in the problem area.
