This paper focuses on traffic delay due to the number of lanes associated with building cost and appended cost. An objective of comprehensive cost is established by quantitatively calculating construction cost and delay cost which depend on the number of lane. Typical road design and traffic control plans for urban roads have been utilized to develop equations for calculating traffic delay. A method is presented to quantize traffic delay cost. Finally, a comparative analysis is conducted taking a typical urban lane upgrading in Huaibei City as an example. It is suggested that the methodology presented enables the decision maker to consider total costs, including user traffic delay costs relative to the number of lane, building cost and appended cost.
