Abstract One of the most obvious, ubiquitous, and urgent transportation issues that most cities throughout the world, including those in India, deal with on a daily basis is traffic congestion. All forms of mobility, particularly the roadways, are impacted, as well as all socioeconomic classes. Some of the main reasons of congestion are rapid population expansion, increased urbanization, bad public transportation systems, inadequate/unplanned transportation infrastructure, and an increase in the number of personnel vehicles. The results from research based on clogged roads are reviewed in this article. Numerous metrics to gauge traffic congestion have been considered. These matrices were divided into three categories: level of service, speed, and travel time. Additionally, methods for gathering data on congestion used in various researches have been reviewed. According to the study’s conclusions, major factors in reducing congestion include better traffic management and control, better public transportation, increased investment for transportation infrastructure, the use of contemporary technology, and a general alignment of transportation and land-use policy.
