Dahod city is one of the fast developing city of Gujarat. This city is also an old city having a number of narrow unplanned roads passing through the heart of the city which are unable to take a load of the traffic especially during peak period resulting in congestion at many places. Therefore, in the present study attempt has been made to solve this problem by using the GIS network analysis tool. Results of the analysis show that proper planning of the city surface transportation system can be done by providing alternative routes to commuters and service providers to reach their destination by the shortest route and in a short time. The present study will be useful to the city management authorities in modern planning of the road network system considering present and future needs of this fast developing city which is also going to become a smart city in future.
