Limited resources, invested for the development of transport facilities, such as infrastructure and vehicles, coupled with the rapid rise in transport demand, existence of a huge number of no motorized vehicles on roads, lack of application of adequate and proper traffic management schemes are producing severe transport problems in almost all the urban areas of Nigeria. Worsening situation is the traffic congestion in the streets and sufferings of the inhabitants from vehicle emissions.
I will examine three major contributions of roads as a mode of transportation to environmental pollution, with emphasis on impacts in Owo urban centre. My concern is with all roads, from primitive logging roads at Ehin-Ogbe/Obasootọ to Akure-Benin highway. Although the effects of different types of roads vary, virtually all are bad, and the net effect of all roads is nothing short of catastrophic.
