The road network of any city is its lifeline and the evaluation of their performance is very necessary for future traffic planning, design, operation and maintenance, etc. Traffic flow in most cities of India is a mixed traffic characteristics and also the traffic congestion is the common problem in most major cities in India. In Bengaluru city, most of the roads are congested and operate in Level of Service E or F. The objective of the present study is to improve the performance operation of the urban road network by proposing the proper alternatives to enhance the traffic capacity. To achieve this objective, a complete methodology for analyzing the mixed traffic flow in 2 km long stretch from Koli Farm Gate to Jalli Machine Bus- stop in Bangalore city, along the Bannerghatta road, is selected and analyzed. Traffic studies were carried out before widening of the road in the form of volume and speed and speed flow relationship was established to understand LOS and traffic volume for future years projected to know the drop in LOS.
