In developing countries, different class of vehicles makes use of same facility leading to the complex heterogeneous traffic condition. It is practically significant to determine the traffic flow of the intersection because the capacity of intersection affects the efficiency of the road network system directly. In this study, an attempt was done to analyze the traffic condition of an intersection, traffic congestion and waiting time of vehicles. Seepage of small sized vehicles (two-wheelers, three-wheelers, etc.) is an important phenomenon observed at intersection where voids are formed, when different category of vehicles forms a queue of intersection in mixed traffic stream. This create a situation where smaller vehicles do not line up but rather ‘seep’ through a queue of stationary or almost stationary vehicles and advances to the intersection stop line. This seepage action of small sized vehicles affects the flow of other vehicles considerably. The acceleration of the vehicle in the queue is also affected by this action. In this study, an attempt was made to determine the influence of queue discharge and delay caused to the vehicles due to seepage behaviour of two-wheeler and three-wheeler.
