FLOW PATTERNS OF VEHICULAR TRAFFIC ALONG HIGHWAY TOLL PLAZA IN OGUN STATE
Congestion on our highways, freeways and arterials are increasing at an alarming rate. This occurs because there is an increase in vehicular growth without a corresponding increase in road size, and this has made free flow of traffic a preponderant problem in our highways.

Congestion on our highways, freeways and arterials are increasing at an
alarming rate. This occurs because there is an increase in vehicular growth
without a corresponding increase in road size, and this has made free flow of
traffic a preponderant problem in our highways. Toll plaza causes delay on our
highways and results are formation of queue. This paper examined how simple
queuing model can be used to determine traffic intensity and theflow pattern of car
traffic at a toll plaza. The study was carried out with twelve field assistants at
Ogere tollplaza in Ogun State. Findings show a significant variation in the degree
of hourly traffic intensities at the four pay points for cars at the toll plaza.
However, variation in the daily traffic intensities at the four pay points for cars
showed no significant variation. The study also revealed that bumps constructed to
check vehicles speed, hawker's trading activities are among other factors that
constitute hindrance to free flow of traffic other than service time and inter-arrival
time of cars at the toll plaza. It is therefore recommended that appropriate
authority should look into thesefactors and take necessary steps towards ensuring
free flow of traffic at theplaza.
