Abstract: Road traffic in India displays a heterogeneous mix condition where in vehicles possessing distinguished physical and operational attributes constitute the vehicular flow. The behaviour of homogeneous flows, commonly observed in the developed Western nations, is characterized by a strict lane discipline and single-file motion of vehicles with restricted movement across the lanes. A heterogeneous flow, on the contrary, is differentiated by the presence of a loose lane discipline and use of the entire road space without any confinements for maneuvering. The behaviour of such traffic is ensued by the existence of flow variables that vary over space and time. Most of the injuries and crashes has chance to occur at intersection. With the rapid growth of the number of various vehicles, the ratio of the traffic accidents to vehicle number is increasing greatly. Hence in this research we were taken different intersections located in Amravati city (Two lane and Four lane). Studied different intersections and find out the heterogeneous behaviour of traffic. Data collected from different intersection manually. The study discussed in this research was performed in order to understand primary traffic parameters and their features pertaining to vehicle behaviour on the two-lane and four lane road. The objective of this research is threefold: to provide a comprehensive review of the studies on Heterogeneous conditions traffic in developing economies, to identify the limitations and gaps in the current understanding of the traffic characteristics and to supply a background and guidelines for the researchers in planning their future studies.
