Most countries of the developing world are characterized by inadequate and poorly maintained road transport infrastructure. The condition of peri-urban areas of Nigeria is more pathetic since they are highly deprived of infrastructural facilities. This paper therefore, examines existing road transportation facilities in the six local governments that constitute peri-urban areas of Ibadan using geo-spatial techniques. This techniques which consist of Global Positioning System (GPS) and Remotely Sensed Images were used to analyze different types of roads in peri- urban areas of Ibadan. The study reveals highly congested federal and state roads. Many of the existing roads were without drainage system, a situation which has serious implication for effective road transport system and quality of life. The results also show that motor parks and bus stops are not evenly distributed in the study area. Car free cities, car-light cities, eco-cities designed, and park and ride system, among others are suggested for effective road transport system in the study area.
