A fast emerging problem of urban areas throughout the world is the problem of traffic congestion. There is aneed to define traffic congestion for different regions and use that for measurement of level of service of differentroads.The observation shows that the fluctuations in speed, which is the most primary effect of congestion, have not yet beenutilized for congestion modeling. Present study focuses on the relationship of congestion with speed variations and henceto quantify congestion using these speed variations. The assessment of the effect of roadway width on congestion levelsand service volumes will be done. While it is possible to assess the realized benefits from an increase in roadway width,the required number of traffic lanes for a desired level of service can also be estimated. Also study will summarizes theremedial measures to increase L.O.S for particular study area.
