III. CONCLUSION AND FUTURE SCOPE

The movable divider is capable of providing extra

lanes with certain specified width to traffic congested side of
road, by acquiring one lane of another side which carries
light traffic at that time. Provision of lanes to a congested
side totally depends on 'either another directing side of the
road is also congested or not?' Thus, by providing the
suggested mechanism, we can use the width of the road to
its full efficiency.

By doing this we can use road width at its full
