Summary/Abstract: Walbrzych Agglomeration consists of 23 municipalities of varied levels of development of their linear transport infrastructure. This paper attempts to analyse and evaluate the local government units of Walbrzych Agglomeration in terms of the existing roads and rail networks, as well as congestion phenomenon. The author has considered such elements of the infrastructure as the national, provincial and municipal roads, as well as the railway networks. The observation of the phenomenon of congestion and the analyses and evaluations of Walbrzych Agglomeration roads were made both at peak and off-peak times.On this basis it has been possible to identify traffc bottlenecks and make differentiation of the development levels of the linear infrastructure in the examined area. The functionality of this infrastructure has also been evaluated, as well as the preferred directions for its further development.
