ecessary preparations such as an accurate watch is performed and the correct time was set, sufficient pens, field data forms and clipboards, mechanical hand tally counters that are in good condition, safety vests and others. -numerators were arrived / minutes earlier at the site in order to familiari0e with location, distribute the e1uipment, fill in the general information of the tally forms that comprised of sheet number, station , enumerator2s name, date, weather  condition and time to start or finish. -numerators have to do field measurements in order to define existing geometric dimension for the intersection under study. The layout of the intersection was sketched and dimensioned. The current traffic movements (through, left turn, and right turn) were identified and  begun at the planned time. !roper observer2s position was selected so that they can see clearly, safely and easily count the traffic. The counting is done at each lane of each intersection approach for volume conditions. The data is checked before leaving the field.

*tudents should wear proper attire when entering the lab such as the lab 3acket, long trousers, and fully covered shoes. The safety vest is compulsory to wear before start the experiment. *tudents are not allowed to play around while they are in the lab to avoid accident and severe in3uries. %hoose the spot for taking the reading wisely and avoid sharp corner spot in order to  prevent dangerous act. The instructions, ob3ectives of the experiment, and materials were understood before  beginning work in lab. 4se clean sheet for recording data in order to prevent errors. %ommunicate wisely among group members. To get a proper results, the study should be conducted in a longer time span, considering the factor of day and time. t is also recommended to not conducting the test at peak time, since it is too obvious and will badly affect the result. 5esides, locations with many obstructions are not good for the testing, especially where a construction works is in progress.
