Main Article Content
Abstract
Roads are the most visible and significant land use aspect. Roads are significant for physical, economic, and social reasons. Various human activities influence the design of urban roads for pedestrians and vehicles moving through urban centres in both developing and developed countries. Human activity is not recognised as a legal or public enterprise in Nigeria, and transport planners may see the sale as a worsening of urban growth. The purpose of this research is to assess the impact and inefficiency of regulatory measures on human activity on major city streets. This study has two objectives. The first is to investigate the spatial distribution of human activity along city boulevards. The fusion's second purpose is to compare the relationships between human activities and land usage. The primary elements impacting roadways were estimated using a quantitative research technique in this study. The study chose three primary grouped streets from diverse strata based on the sort of business, as street vending activity is unpredictable. A total of 60 questionnaires were issued. Another 30 questionnaires were distributed for rapid construction interventions along right of ways (ROWs) identified as future road widening reservations. The present economic situation, according to the research, has led many city people to participate in small-scale enterprises like as selling, hawking, and begging. The government's politically motivated efforts to comply with present road restriction legislation have generated motivation for citizens to use more than 55% of the ROW.
