When planning to do a port or a new road or when determine the turning traffic movements for any road, we must know the traffic movement on the road to determine the distribution and direction of the turning traffic, and we must know pedestrian traffic, parking and land uses adjacent because this will help to forecasting the magnitude of the changes in the movement of turning traffic in the future, which helps to determine the priorities of sustainable development required. The increasing population and the preparation of private vehicles of the most important factors that have helped to increase traffic congestion and transport problems and the growing proportion of traffic, causing accidents and pollution as well as large losses of the national economy. Pushing to put these problems to be addressed to search for the best possible means to be diagnosed and treated as soon as what can be achieved through the use of modern technology as a way analytical. It is no doubt that a GIS is one of the most important of these methods adopted in the world in support of the decision and personalized sites imbalance through adoption in identifying problems of traffic intersections and traffic streams through them and their sizes especially in the intersections of the main streets in large cities and neighboring land uses task scope regional service, such as universities and ministries. It also we can take advantage of modern technology through the use of Photographic technique and application of computer programs in the survey and analysis of turning traffic for these nodes to ease the pressure on those whom in charge of research to get the data for the streams of traffic and employ this technique along the style of GIS in the analysis and treatment, and this would save a lot of time, cost and effort with more accurate data. In addition, that is what this research will try to focus it through analytical situ study for the problem of the mother Baghdad university intersection in the city of Baghdad, with the two methods of modern technology.
