Increased traffic volume introduces congestion on road affecting efficiency of road. Efficiency assessment could be defined as the comparison between current status roads in terms capacity, volume, geometric design, etc. and standard prescribed for well-functioning roads. A new Bridge Rupsha River causes increased study The is a link from city to RupshaBridge. Vehicles which used Ferry terminal previously trips are made visit Rupsha clogging burden traffics urban results it makes necessity studying whether efficient or not serve all its flow. This presents methodological approach toward measuring an also depicts when how such measure might required setting. conducts design problem analysis identify problems making congestion. Attributes (traffic width other characteristics) prove inefficient one standards. authors discovered what vehicle types responsible inefficiency. They suggested with appropriate reasoning that motorized vehicles eliminated have serving residential additional visitor concluded by designing alternative vehicles.

Key words: Road efficiency, road, Bridge, Khulna City.
