ABSTRACT
Abakpa-Nike is notorious for chaotic traffic due to driver's indiscipline and poor road
nehvork. This study was therefore undertaken to determine the level of traffic congestion at
four major intersections: The Abakpa-Nike- Trans-Ekulu T-Junction; Abakpa-Nike Liberty
Junction; Afia Abakpa Junction and Nowas Roundabout Intersection in Abakpa-Nike area of
Enugu, Enugu State. These intersections are notorious for high traffic volumes. Vehicular
traffic volume were measured to quantify overall vehicular traffic movements with emphasis
on vehicular traffic during the morning and evening peak hours. Delay and capacity were
indices that were used to estimate congestion levels. The result from this study showed that
there is traffic congestion at all intersection with an average delay of 273 vhe./sec.; while
traffic capacities at the intersections were exceeded. The mobility level at the intersections
also surpassed acceptable levels constituting excruciating driving experiences at these
intersections. This will further deteriorate and the intersections become impassable should
vehicular traffic volume continue to soar at the projected 7% according to the study. The
study recommended increasing road and intersection capacities and the improvement of road
traffic management in the study area among other recommendations.
