Abstract	Khulna is the third largest city and one of the economic and industrial hubs of Bangladesh. In this respect highway corridor plays a very important part for goods and passenger transport. Due to the ongoing connectivity through construction of Padma Bridge will accelerate the economic activities of this area in near future as well as increase pressure on entry corridor of the city which is directly linked to Khulna-Jessore highway. There are possibilities which can result in low highway performance state. Under the above circumstances, Khulna-Jessore highway was selected as study to evaluate the performance of highway for future perspective. In this regard a field survey was conducted based on various speed study (i.e. spot speed, running and journey speed) analysis. Based on this information various calculation were done such as speed performance index, road congestion index, network assessment index, locational speed fluctuation, speed fluctuation, delay times by moving average method. The speed performance index is 38.59%, road congestion index is 0.36 in peak hour and 0.46 in off peak hour. The lesser the value the more the congestion state of that point. The mean, median and modal speed of the Khulna-Jessore highway is 29.2 km/hr., 27.5 km/hr. and 37.5 km/hr. respectively. The speed falls to 10 to 15 km/hr. due to funneling effect in Khulna-Jessore highway due to uncontrolled on street parking. Moreover, frequent pedestrian crossing and movement of slow moving vehicles also interrupts vehicular speed. Based on these analyses, the results can be significant enough to assess the traffic congestion conditions of urban road networks.
