Abstract

The study helps to improve on an existing arterial road on the permanent site of the University of Ilorin, Ilorin, Nigeria to carter for bicycling. The design was done by carrying out manual measurement using tape on the road. The width of the University road is found to be wide enough to accommodate bicycle lane on both sides of the road. The use of bicycling facilities is vital to the advancement and development of any locality. By placing emphasis on cycling, the problem of acceptance will be over along the road of Unilorin. It is recommended that the design of bicycle facility should no longer be ignored in current transportation planning practices and in formulating, implementing and refining policies. In this light, Unilorin road is designed for the bicycling and bicycle park facilities. Keywords: Bicycle lane, non-motorized transportation and cycling.
