N2  - ABSTRACT
Today, North Cyprus is important for many students and investors because it contains internationally recognized universities and distinct coastal areas that can be exploited by investors. This has led to an inflated traffic crisis in the region, especially in the capital city of Lefkoşa. A key location for the transport network is Göçmenköy junction, Lefkoşa. This intersection is key to access industrial area, universities, and residential developments and wider afield to other Towns in North Cyprus. To analyze the operations of the junction, data is collected on this intersection through video recording as well as the distribution of a questionnaire on users of this intersection, especially at peak time. Study confirmed that the location causes significant operational issues experienced by users. To establish issues, programs have been used to analyze this data using Excel program and the program Sidra Intersection, Sidra program showed the level of service for this intersection F, this means that the time to delay journeys and increase in the amount of emissions and increase in fuel consumption lead to a negative impact on human health and the environment. A solution to this problem was found through the Sidra program. This has changed the level of service from F to A, which means reducing journeys delay time, reducing harmful emissions and low fuel consumption. Recommendations are made to improve the operations of the junction.
