PAPER ABSTRACT: This research paper focusses on the sustainable transport mobility viewpoint to alleviate traffic congestion on urban road network which subsequently limit road accidents by enhancing maneuverability and accessibility. In recent times, Sialkot city and its neighborhoods have been developing rapidly and emerged as a mega city with connection to motorways. Congestion and road traffic casualties are principal societal losses due to land use and transportation collaboration. A preemptive and practical approach is needed for better connectivity and accessibility to enhance safety. This study explores the urbanized network with various policy measures i.e. peripheral roads, to gauge vehicle miles travel (VMT) and vehicle hours travel (VHT). Traffic macro simulation model used to compare policy measures and to select an alternative which saved more travel distance and time. The results explains the best policy which alleviate congestion and improving road safety situation on city road network. Sustainable urban mobility counter the negative effects of urban sprawl by keeping equilibrium between demand and supply of transportation.
