CHAPTER FIVE
5.0 CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
5.1 CONCLUSION
From the project research work, the recorded accident claims most lives of the passenger compare to the drivers.
It can be seen that human, vehicle, environmental and roadways characteristics are salient factors that are responsible for road traffic crashes in South Western Nigeria.
It was established that road traffic crashes can be prevented by embarking on various crashes prevention and reduction strategies such as education and training, traffic enforcement, enhanced transportation coordination, road capacity expansion, and drivers enlightenment.
The trends and patterns of road accidents in Ilorin Omu-aran road between the month of March-August, 2013.is zigzag as it increase and decrease from the table 3.0- 3.5.
5.2 RECOMMENDATIONS
Given the critical importance of road transport in the Nigeria economy and the need to safe guard the lives of those travelling on the roads the following recommendations are made.
1. There is absolute need for more commitment and sincerity of purpose on the part of those responsible for road infrastructural development and management and road transport management.
2. In order to ensure proactive and responsible establishment of Public Works Department as was done in the 1960s.
Recruitment of personnel should be mostly from adjoining communities to reduce costs while creating employment.
There is clearly a need for road safety education and it should be directed towards road users, who are frequently involved and injured in Road Traffic Accidents (RTAs) e.g. (Students).
An integrated programmed of road safety education is suggested.
(a) Primary school children may be introduced to the elementary concepts of road safety through stories involving the animal world.
(b) Primary school children may be given practice guidance on the use of side walks and road crossing techniques.
(c) For under graduate students, road signs, and motor driving should be introduced for them.
The real pressure and motivation to improve driving skills can come only through licensing authorities by adopting stricter more comprehensive and scientifically bases test laying a stress on road rules, regulations and traffic control devices.
At the time of given license to the public transport driver (Bus and Trucks), they can be given training in first-aid skills so that victims are attended to immediately in the post accident periods.

The rising trend in morbidit ... Continue reading---
CHAPTER TWO - [ Total Page(s): 4 ]It touches on the development of real time analytical accident avoidance technology systems, transport information systems, and introduces the notion of highly automated accident analysis and policy response tools. Details of data analysis tools in particular those used in computational geography is given in the chapter 3. Back to this chapters section 2 is concerned with reviewing literature about the geography of road accidents incidence, where several sections of Whitelegg 1986 are quoted. As ... Continue reading---
