    Traffic ecology studies how transportation systems impact the environment. Traffic refers to the movement of people and goods via vehicles or animals. Traffic management organizes traffic flow. Transportation causes air and noise pollution and land use changes like habitat destruction. Regulations aim to limit vehicle emissions, noise, and protect ecosystems while promoting alternatives to personal vehicles. Traffic control techniques include one-way streets, enforcement, and traffic signals.

    TRAFFIC ECOLOGY

    Presented By Group 3
    WHAT IS TRAFFIC ECOLOGY?

    • Traffic ecology is a branch of ecology that focuses


    on the study of how traffic and transportation
    systems impact the environment and ecosystems.
    WHAT IS TRAFFIC?

    • It refers to the movement of persons,


    goods or vehicles, either powered by
    combustion system or animal drawn
    from one place to another for the
    purpose of travel
    WHAT IS TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT

    • Traffic management is the organization, arrangement,


    guidance and control of both stationary and moving traffic,
    including pedestrian and all types og motor vehicle. It is
    essential that the law enforcer study the different
    terminologies, agency and pillars of traffic so that they can
    understand and apply in the future responsibilities.
    ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS OF
    TRANSPORTATION

    2. Noise Pollution: Traffic


    1. Air Pollution: Vehicles emit generates noise pollution, which 3. Land Use Changes: Expanding
    pollutants like carbon monoxide, can disrupt ecosystems, harm transportation infrastructure can lead
    nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter. wildlife, and negatively impact to urban sprawl and changes in land
    These pollutants can degrade air use, resulting in habitat destruction
    human well-being.
    quality, harm human health, and and loss of open spaces.
    contribute to climate change.
    COMMON TYPES OF REGULATIONS
    RELATED TO TRAFFIC ECOLOGY

    1.Emissions Standards: Laws often set emission standards for vehicles to limit the pollutants
    they release, such as carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter.

    2.Noise Regulations: Laws may establish noise pollution standards for transportation
    systems, particularly in densely populated areas.

    3. Alternative Transportation Promotion: Regulations and policies may encourage the use of
    public transportation, cycling, and walking as eco-friendly alternatives to personal vehicles.

    4.Wetland and Waterway Protection: Laws may protect wetlands, waterways, and aquatic
    ecosystems from damage caused by road construction or runoff.
    OTHER TRAFFIC -CONTROL
    TECHNIQUES INCLUDE

    1. Use of one-way streets


    2. Enforcement of traffic flow regulations
    3. Channelization (building traffic islands, turning lanes and
    so on)
    4. Use of traffic signals
