Background To The Study
It is important to draw attention to Creek Road's importance in Apapa. The logistics industry, which is the main activity on this route, would undoubtedly experience several problems if there is any traffic congestion there.
The main route, known as Creek Road, connects one of the country's international airports, Murtala Muhammad Airport in Ikeja, which is located few kilometers away from the country's primary Apapa port (Wharf).
One of the highways that contributes significantly to the federal government of Nigeria's financial support is this one. It connects Tin Can Island Port, Conmaldi, and a few additional container ports in terms of interconnectivity, and oil farm depots are situated along the route. Heavy load shipments on this route have produced constant and relentless traffic congestion, which has had a significant impact on corporate operations since turnaround times have become longer than required (Aronietis, 2020).
There have been several attempts in the recent past and present to develop a long-term solution to this traffic hazard, but none of these efforts have produced the desired outcomes. The majority of government initiatives to address this problem have traditionally used a Fire Brigade Approach-style approach. Alternative routes and ways of transportation into and out of the port are urgently needed.
There must be a multimodal transportation system. It is clear that the biggest obstacle to the development of the transportation and logistics industry, particularly in this region of the globe, is traffic congestion. Since every nation is developing strategies and tactics to address this traffic issue, its influence cannot be understated (Bennathan, 2017).
In Lagos, Nigeria, the flow of traffic into and out of the port complexes becomes increasingly congested and unsafe every day. Due to the few automobiles that were on our roads in the past, transportation was not a major issue. Numerous traffic issues have arisen over the last few years as a result of the growth in cars (automobiles and road vehicles). Apapa, a city in Lagos State, would serve as the study's site and topic owing to the region's very high concentration of port-related activity.
This increase in vehicular activity has caused traffic jams and delays when entering or leaving Apapa, especially during peak hours, necessitating research into alternative modes of transportation and the management of intersections in the area to determine how well they are performing in terms of directing and controlling traffic, particularly how those intersections tend to reduce conflicts along the three major intersections in Apapa - Liverpool Road, Point Road, and Wharf Road (Blanchard, 2017).
An junction is where two or more roads come together. Because it is a place where cars might turn in various directions to go to their intended destinations, intersections often create opportunities for vehicle collisions. The primary purposes of junctions are to direct moving traffic in various directions to the appropriate channels, so enhancing safety, minimizing conflicts, and enhancing traffic flow. For junction designers, ensuring intersection safety is still a problem.
