Abstract
The RTC model with Crosstabulation and GLM Univariate on Abuja was prepared using case by case secondary data of RTC between 1999 and 2006. It attempts to determine the mean number of RTC and see the confounding influence of crash location, severity of RTC and period of RTC on the number of crashes as an indicator for Cities with similar traffic mix. The research found that each crash location has different severities and relationship between crash location and severity is weak. Implying that the measurable difference in the time of crash between crash location was due to severities in few location rather than a more serious State-wide (Abuja) variation in black spot location. The study recommended more presence of law enforcement agencies, warning road furniture, improved night driving education for long distance motorist and Dualisation of roads leading into the FCT.
