Abstract
This study analyzes the impact of side friction on vehicle speed reduction along SH-216 at Gudlavalleru. Side friction elements such as pedestrian movement, roadside activities, parked vehicles, and non-motorized traffic interrupt the smooth flow of traffic, leading to speed variations and safety concerns. Data was collected using video graphic techniques and analyzed for different vehicle categories including two-wheelers, three-wheelers, light commercial vehicles, and heavy commercial vehicles. The study shows that side friction significantly reduces vehicle speed, with an average reduction of about 38.65% at Location-1. The results highlight the need for proper traffic management strategies such as controlled parking, pedestrian facilities, and regulation of roadside activities to improve safety and traffic efficiency
