Abstracts: Traffic management is presently a challenge for the traffic authority. In developing countries, the city traffic is growing at a very fast rate. Increased urbanization gives rise to problem of congestion. As cities are growing, it will be important to plan and build new facilities for both public and private transport. Unplanned urbanization and transport facilities cause parking problems. Inadequate parking facilities result in decrease of road capacity and many negative side effects such as air, and noise pollution. Beside these, it also causes economic consequences by losing time and fuel, loss of productivity, high energy consumption and increase in accidental death rates. Thus, all parking facilities as well as others should be designed and planned properly in order to provide a better life for the people and for the prosperity of the city. Due to rapid growth in population, increase in mobility of households, supermarket, new shopping and commercial centers have been built up as a result of the traffic flow rate has begun. Although shopping centers have their own parking facility, people tend to park on the street and go to underground parking only when no space is available on the street. Radhanpur cross road is facing an acute traffic management problem and parking problems. These primary transport management problems leads to many more secondary problems such as traffic congestion, high energy consumption, deterioration of environment and vehicular parking problems, etc. The parking policies play a vital role in overall development of city and station areas. The basic study is the simulation of parking for the Radhanpur cross road. The study shall include detailed parking analysis for the study section.
