Random traffic flows and the influence of traffic signals at intersections often cause significant variations in travel times. This has implications for signal control planning and design. This study aims to compare the variability between signalized and unsignalized corridors in Lahore and identify the challenges faced by road users. The study was conducted through a literature survey that collected data on trip purpose, frequency, travel time, and transportation mode choice from various sources. Results show that signalized corridors have lower accident rates and shorter travel times compared to unsignalized corridors. Unsignaled corridors, on the other hand, offer better access and lower fuel costs. Although signalized corridors are more effective in managing traffic flow and improving safety, further research is needed to explore alternative solutions such as roundabouts that can improve mobility and sustainability. The results of this study can serve as a reference for transportation planners and policy makers in designing a more efficient traffic system. This study also suggests the need for further evaluation of traffic control in various urban contexts to optimize safety and efficiency.
