In this paper, a macroscopic model is applied to simulate dynamical features of traffic flow on a continuum urban network. This model is described as the two-dimensional Lighthill-Whitham-Richards model coupled with a reactive dynamic user-optimal route choice model. Numerical results visualize the ability of the model to predict some macroscopic characteristics of traffic flow on networks, i.e. the spatial distribution of flow density and travel cost of users, as well as to capture traffic congestion build-up and dissipation.
