Study on motorised vehicle travel time is important as travel time may serve as one of the parameters for road service performances in urban areas. Vehicles travel through different delays where the characteristic of one place is different from that of the others. The difference depends on several factors like road capacity, physical and geometrical condition, land use, side obstruction, and road function. The research aims at mapping speed, delay time, and travel time of motorised vehicle on street sections in Yogyakarta mayoralty and indicating locations producing the same travel time to reach the city centre (the central post office). It gives the priority to the primary data obtained from the survey on 32 road sections which have major role in carrying urban transport flow in Yogyakarta. The survey records the running time and delay time during busy hours at noon when different characters of travel mix up. The research results reveal the following: the longest delay time for going to the city centre is on Jalan Mayor Suryotomo, i.e. 109.29 seconds and for leaving the city centre is on Jalan Kaliurang, i.e. 95.43 seconds
