Abstract

Traffic violation is an ever increasing rate of offence committed by road users in Nigeria. This study examined the rate of traffic light violations on road transportation at Sango metropolitan junction, Ibadan in Nigeria. In order to ascertain the rate and number of vehicles that violates the traffic light signal, the traffic situation was directly observed. The data obtained was analysed using descriptive statistics (means), means plots, T-test and ANOVA. Findings show that higher number of vehicles violates the traffic light signal in the evening peak period against the morning period and it was deduced from the findings that motor cyclist committed higher offence of violating the traffic light signal against the motorist within the slotted time understudied. Therefore, it is highly recommended that thorough orientation and re-orientation program should be frequently organized for motorist and motorcyclist within the city. Moreover, the traffic law officers should be properly aided and sanitized to improve the discharge of their duties.
