A significant proportion of the respondents either use the road every day or twice a week. The data collected shows that 76% of the respondents use the road often on a weekly basis. This was important to this study as it showed that the respondents could be relied on to give authentic information to achieve the studies objectives. The road users were concerned about their safety and the convenience of going through Agbo-Oba, Oja-Tuntun and Sawmill road during the rains. The state of the drainage system compromised their safety as they travelled. Only 10% percent think the drainage system provided for in the roads are good, whereas, there was none of the respondents who thought the drainage system was very good.

ABSRACT - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]ABSTRACTDrainage is an essential component of road construction. In most designs of the road, the first thing to be put in place is drainage system. The presence of blockage in drainage system tends to reduce the carriage capacity of drainage and thereby affect life span of the road. The research employed a research survey in order to obtain the information that would describe the causes of blocked drainage, canal and culvert in Ilorin-west local government road and its effect on the surrounding ...
