Abstract	Nowadays, Yangon with a population of 5.24 million becomes a largest commercial city and a hub of international trading center in Myanmar. The population and traffic demands have significantly increased in Yangon City due to government policy changed in 2010. The main objective of this study is to analyze traffic congestion and route choice behavior between two roundabouts, the most traffic congested area in Yangon City. We used the roadside interview method for one thousand and five hundred vehicles to collect their origin-destination, route choice. We also collected existing road characteristics such as width, numbers of lanes and signal timing of between two roundabouts to calculate Level of Service (LOS) using HCM 2000. After that, we converted our roadside paperbased traffic survey data into geospatially enabled traffic survey data by utilizing Geographic Information System (GIS) road network data model and geocoding method. We used this geospatially enabled traffic survey data to measure travel distance, road usages and then compute link count or volume for the individual road segment. Finally, we analyze drivers’ route choice behaviors and traffic congestion by road segments. We hope that this study will help to solve current traffic congestion problems and support future transport planning in Yangon City.
