A method, non-transitory computer readable medium, and apparatus for side-by-side traffic location load balancing are disclosed. For example, the method receives one or more video images of a side-by-side traffic location, determines a number of cars in a first lane and a number of cars in a second lane of the side-by-side traffic location based upon the one or more video images, calculates a delta between the number of cars in the first lane and the number of cars in the second lane and recommends the first lane or the second lane based upon the delta and a respective weighting factor associated with the first lane and the second lane to provide a load balance of the cars at the side-by-side traffic location.
