For many countries around the globe, economic development has contributed to increases in levels of private car ownership. This has induced traffic-related problems such as road congestion particularly in developing countries. It is evident that most cities of developing world like Enugu cannot afford nor would they desire a completely free and unencumbered travel at all hours of the day. According to OECD/ECMT (2004), an urban area completely devoid of traffic congestion at all times of the day should not be regarded as a successful city, economically speaking. This is because vibrant economic activities generate traffic problems. Fully eradicating road traffic congestion is neither an affordable, nor a feasible goal in economically dynamic urban areas. This paper, therefore, discussed the current traffic congestion problems in Enugu metropolis and recommended management strategies aimed at mitigating them
