The effect of the absorbing sites with an absorbing rate $\beta_{0}$, in both one absorbing site (one way out) and two absorbing sites (two ways out) in a road, on the traffic flow phase transition is investigated using numerical simulations in the one-dimensional cellular automaton traffic flow model with open boundaries using parallel dynamics.In the case of one way out, there exist a critical position of the way out $ i_{c1}$ below which the current is constant for $\beta_{0}$$<$$\beta_{0c2}$ and decreases when increasing $\beta_{0}$ for $\beta_{0}$$>$$\beta_{0c2}$. When the way out is located at a position greater than $ i_{c2}$, the current increases with $\beta_{0}$ for $\beta_{0}$$<$$\beta_{0c1}$ and becomes constant for any value of $\beta_{0}$ greater than $\beta_{0c1}$. While, when the way out is located at any position between $ i_{c1}$ and $ i_{c2}$ ($ i_{c1}$$<$$ i_{c2}$), the current increases, for $\beta_{0}$$<$$\beta_{0c1}$, with $\beta_{0}$ and becomes constant for $\beta_{0c1}$$<$$\beta_{0}$$<$$\beta_{0c2}$ and decreases with $\beta_{0}$ for $\beta_{0}$$>$$\beta_{0c2}$. In the later case the density undergoes two successive first order transitions; from high density to maximal current phase at $\beta_{0}$$=$$\beta_{0c1}$ and from intermediate density to the low one at $\beta_{0}$$=$$\beta_{0c2}$. In the case of two ways out located respectively at the positions $ i_{1}$ and $ i_{2}$, the two successive transitions occur only when the distance $i_{2}$-$i_{1}$ separating the two ways is smaller than a critical distance $d_{c}$. Phase diagrams in the ($\alpha,\beta_{0}$), ($\beta,\beta_{0}$) and ($i_{1},\beta_{0}$) planes are established. It is found that the transitions between Free traffic, Congested traffic and maximal current phase are first order.
