Abstract:-With increasing population and vehicle ownership the urban regions are facing congested situations. The vehicles cooperate to share the same right of way laterally and resulting into delay and reduced capacity of roadway. The main aim of the study is to observe the lateral behaviour characteristics of software. Simulation model is prepared using PTV VISSIM software and calibrated to the observed field conditions. Speed flow curves are plotted to find the capacity of the midblock section taken for the study. The lateral gap between vehicles is checked using the coordinates data obtained during the simulation and then used to find the relation between the average speed and gap between vehicles at different flow levels ranging from moderately low to congested conditions. There is considerable variation in the lateral gap and speed at the observed volumes.
