This study focuses on optimizing traffic flow at uncontrolled intersections by comparing the effectiveness of different intersection types: roundabouts, signal-controlled intersections, and turbo-roundabouts. The purpose is to determine which type offers the best solution for enhancing traffic efficiency, reducing delays, and improving safety. The research employs simulation-based modeling to analyze traffic performance under varying traffic conditions. Critical parameters such as vehicle flow rate, average delay time, and capacity are used to assess the performance of each intersection type. The results indicate that turbo-roundabouts outperform conventional roundabouts and signal-controlled intersections in terms of both capacity and reduction in delays. The findings suggest that implementing turbo-roundabouts at high-traffic intersections can significantly improve traffic flow and reduce congestion. However, the effectiveness of each solution is context-dependent, with signal-controlled intersections still being advantageous under specific conditions, particularly in highly urbanized areas. This study provides valuable insights for transportation planners and engineers, highlighting the importance of intersection design in traffic optimization
