India is experiencing an exponential growth in population which in turn is leading to an increase in vehicular traffic. This increase in traffic is mostly because of private vehicles creating different problems like traffic congestion, increase in environmental pollution, safety issues and vehicular delay. One of the major reasons for traffic congestion in urban scenario is bottlenecking. Bottleneck will have a great impact on human capital hour loss. Three different locations of bottlenecks in Hyderabad, India are selected and video graphic survey was conducted. Vehicular delay, human capital hour loss, percent occupancy and level of service of all the three locations were determined. In this paper, equations for HCL, delay and occupancy were developed using linear regression model using R-Studios which is having MAPE as 24.56%, 18.56%, 11.54% and R-square as 0.62, 0.43 and 0.52 receptively. Level of service for all the three locations were found out with respective percent occupancy from HCM 2010 and based on delay. The obtained level of service was LOS E and LOS F during peak hours.
