FIELD: transport.
SUBSTANCE: in the claimed method for traffic flow regulation consisting in highway traffic flow parameter checkout, two utmost thresholds of parameters are set which are associated with vehicles travelling speed on each highway driving lane. Mode of permanent measuring and processing one of these parameters is set. When the selected parameter overruns the first threshold on the corresponding highway section after transition of which a vehicle travelling speed continues to decrease, entry of vehicles from side directions to the corresponding highway section is ceased, e.g. by means of entrance traffic light restrictive signal until the selected parameter reaches the second threshold after transition of which a vehicle travelling speed continues to increase. Then vehicle entry to the corresponding highway section is permitted, e.g. by means of traffic light permitting signal, and similarly on all entrance highway sections supporting continuous vehicle driving throughout the highway within the set speed range.
EFFECT: invention makes possible to increase highway throughput up to 3 thousand vehicles per hour on each highway traffic lane and maintain vehicle travelling speed on a highway.
