India’s transport sector is large and diverse but it faces various traffic problems. Side friction is one of the major problem in metro cities. Side friction can be defined as activities along the sides or going on the travelled way which disrupt traffic flow. It includes but not limited to pedestrian, non-motorized vehicles (NMV), on road parked vehicles, slow moving vehicles (SMV), roadside vendors. The all factors are frequent in developing countries but they are sparse and inconsequent. But in day to day life everyone is interacting with the factors of side friction. This paper is mainly focused on various studies reported with regards to the effect of side frictions in a capacity of urban arterial and gives a suitable measure.
