Transportation has an important connection in many aspects such as economic growth, trade, tourism and social interaction. Today, the demand for transportation services is increasing with the rapid socio-economic development. This increase brings with it various traffic problems. Effective intersection design in preventing congestion, delays and accidents is of great importance in terms of ensuring traffic safety and sustainability. In this study, Gürcükapı Intersection and Taşhan Intersection were remodeled with Aimsun software in order to reduce the density at the intersections in Erzurum province and to meet traffic needs. Signalization was added to the modeled intersections, the directions of the intersection arms were changed and four alternative scenarios were created with these changes using current scenario. A total of five scenarios, including the current scenario and the developed alternatives, were evaluated and compared based on travel time, delay time, waiting time, speed, queuing, instant CO2, NOx, PM (Particulate Matter) and VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) values. As a result of the comparison, the scenario in which the current intersection arm direction and Gürcükapı and Taşhan intersections are modernized and there is no signaling system was determined as the most effective scenario.
