This study focuses mainly on investigating some traffic characteristics according to field observations. The road between Girsheen and Suhela Intersections, in Duhok city, has been examined for some traffic characteristics such as flow, traffic composition, and traffic accidents. Viedo cameras have been adopted to determine the level of service besides using the test car method for identifying the average travel time and speed for the road. Then, the LOS for both directions is relatively low due to insufficient capacity for the traffic volume, which might affect the pavement's service life. On the other hand, the total number of accidents recorded for six months is 73, and fatalities were recorded from 13/3/2020 to 24/9/2020. The percentage of accidents resulting in injuries is 5.48%, and the injury rate is 46 per million vehicle km. The improvement of the injury rate is by 36.98%. This study forecasted an improvement of injury rate by 24.65%.
