Abstract
Sharing of lanes by motorcyclists can cause injuries to their body because of the exposure of the part of the body due to the design of motorcycle. Due to lane sharing by motorcyclists’ fatal accident may occurred which can lead to death of the motorcyclists and lane splitting leads to confusion at intersections. Road accident in Nigeria is attributed to many reckless motorcyclists and absence on motorcycle lane forming part of the road. Motorcycle lane design and construction are important to reduce road accident claiming lives and causing causalities. This justifies the study on motorcycle lane design considering geometric features, traffic data and road users as elements of the design. Raw data were collected at Ibrahim Taiwo road Ilorin from four different sections, A,B,C and D using video recording from Monday to Sunday at the peak hours of 7am-9am in the morning and 2pm-4pm in the afternoon.
