Abstract: Traffic congestion in metro cities and also developing towns is a common phenomenon for developing countries. A study conducted to quantify the congestion problem. It describes the complete methodological process from data collection to cost per minute. Traffic congestions are frequently observed where road facilities operate at capacity limits. To estimate the congestion cost an arterial route was selected that has significant importance due to Industrial & port associated activity. The amount is a composition of opportunity cost & Fuel consumption cost caused due to excessive delays in congestion. Additionally, it describes the complete methodological process from data collection to cost per minute delay. Traffic congestion issues are frequently observed in cities and also in developing towns of the world. Traffic congestion issues in developing towns at preliminary stage give a better understanding for future accommodation of traffic.
