ramp control

Ramp control refers to strategies used to manage traffic entering highways from on-ramps. The goal is to prevent congestion and maintain smooth traffic flow by regulating the number of vehicles that can enter the highway at any given time. This can involve traffic signals, variable message signs, or using metered entry points that allow vehicles to merge safely. By controlling how many cars join the highway, ramp control helps reduce bottlenecks, enhancing overall travel efficiency and safety for all drivers.
