Stream speed pattern of traffic plays a crucial role in urban transportation. The presence of on-street parking significantly reduces this speed by narrowing the carriageway width available for traffic movement, impeding the traffic flow. Therefore, understanding the traffic flow behavior in the context of on-street parking could be challenging. In this context, the present study explores the influence of on-street parking on the stream speed of regular traffic. To achieve this, data were collected at various ideal and parking sections. The stream speed ranges from 39.28 km/h to 51.47 km/h for ideal sections with significant percentage reduction observed at parking sections, ranging from 39.09% to 81.30%. This speed reduction was then modelled considering the most significant parking parameters conceptualized in this study. The findings of the study offer valuable insights that can be implemented for developing the on-street parking norms.
