Now a days in many cities road traffic and transport demand, are increasing a which has consequently lead to worsening in capacity and inefficient performance of traffic systems. In the past, it was thought that in order to resolve the capacity problem it was simply to provide additional road space. Various studies have been done on this problems and come to know that various factors responsible for worse traffic condition out of which is there is often a great deal of activity on and alongside roads, which affects the way in which they operate. This hindrance to the smooth flow of traffic is known as “side friction”. Side friction factors are defined as all those actions related to the activities taking place by the sides of the road and sometimes within the road, which obstruct the traffic flow on the travelled way. The objective of this thesis is to review the effect of side friction factors on traffic performance measures on urban roads.
