The article offers a method to evaluate the connectivity and efficiency of urban traffic networks with the use of various indices (through the example of Iraqi cities). The existing indices, which are used for similar evaluation, have been considered and analyzed, and a traffic network planning algorithm has been proposed. The connectivity and efficiency of the traffic network in Najaf (Iraq) was evaluated, using the proposed algorithm. To be able to evaluate the traffic network properties, a public transport analysis was carried out, main directions of the traffic flows were identified; the actual traffic network was presented as a simplified network based on the graph theory (topology map). A survey was carried out and preliminary forecast was made to enhance the efficiency of the urban traffic network in Najaf. The number of links needs to be increased for all the indices of the traffic network in Najaf. If recommendations to modify the Najaf traffic network are followed, this will enable debottlenecking, reduce the number of car accidents and cut the transportation costs. It is recommended to use the proposed method to evaluate and enhance urban traffic networks.
