The traffic composition analysis revealed a passenger bus as the predominant model for the entire route. Furthermore, the result also revealed a poor parking system, increase volume of traffic, street trading, and bad roads, too many petrol filling stations, and poor geometric design are factors affecting the level of service. In due course, the result of this study will help the government and transport agencies to proffer adequate measures for the reduction of traffic congestio
