Congestion Management Process (CMP)

Congestion Management Process (CMP) is a structured approach used by transportation agencies to identify, analyze, and implement solutions for traffic congestion on roads and highways. Its goal is to improve travel reliability, safety, and efficiency by managing traffic flow. CMP involves collecting data on traffic conditions, prioritizing problem areas, and developing strategies such as optimizing signal timings, adding lanes, or encouraging alternative transportation modes. This process ensures that transportation systems are effectively planned and maintained to reduce delays and enhance mobility for all users.
