Abstract: Traffic has grown in recently years. As vehicular traffic began to increase, the congestion on the streets began to hamper the safe and efficient movement of traffic. More and more accidents were caused, and serious problems of parking and environmental pollution began to felt. Therefore its necessary to give attention towards transportation and study the need for better geometric design, capacity, signals, roadway marking, street lighting etc. In this parametric study, level of service(LOS) of different segment has been practically carried out for stretch path of Pragatinagar to Akhbarnagar & Akhbarnagar to Ranip Cross Road between destination points facing heaviest traffic problems. Expected solution we get from outcome is lead to potential improvement of traffic in the form of either expansion of width of roads, construction of fly over or by-pass, improvement of signal design
