N2  - Intersection capacity is based on saturation flow rate. In  reality, the saturation flow rate changes considerably on such  road and traffic conditions s uch as the geometry of intersections  number of right-turn vehicles, number of left-turn vehicles,  number of heavy vehicles in the traffic stream and etc . Therefore,  in principle the saturation flow rate should be determined base on  the actual measurement at the concerned intersections.  In this study , the saturation flow rates of straight- ahead and  unopposed right-turning movements were surveyed. The ef feet of  trucks was also evaluated. Saturation flow rates and PCEs  determined by different methods were then compared. New approach  for PCEs and saturation flow rates were developed and tested.  Theoretically, the PCEs depend on the truck's position in the  queue, but for practical work, the difference can be ignored.  Right turn movement is equivalent to straight-ahead movement  for passenger cars. The average headways of straight- ahead movement  obtained for Phahonyothin - Pradiphat, Ratcahwithi - Rama VI and  Rangsit are 1.91 , 1.86 and 2.16 respectively .  PCE for trucks of right turning is larger than that of  straight- ahead movement . PCEs of straight- ahead movement and right  turn movement obtained in this study for Rangsit intersection were  1.53 and 1.68 respectively
