Each separate property of the road traffic, as well as their entire set - the so-called "quality", can be assessed by means of losses - the smaller the loss is, the better the property and the higher the quality are. Evaluation using losses, which are expressed in money, is very convenient and clear, since it allows comparing contradictory properties of road traffic not only the each other, but the costs' expenses involved in their improving, as well. The value of the costs estimate of the time spent by a user in the process of travelling has not been officially established and is the subject of research. The proposed methodology makes it possible to assess, not only the quality of the road traffic in general, but its main components, as well, for example, traffic management or road conditions. It has been proved by methodology implementation findings on the streets in Minsk. ER
