Abstract Traffic restraint techniques, widely used to combat traffic congestion in the developed countries, have been tried in Lagos, Nigeria. This paper examines the impact of the use of odd and even numbered vehicles on alternate days in reducing congestion on the urban roads. The result of the analysis indicates that the restraint technique worked only during the first few months of its introduction. The basic causes of the subsequent failure are outlined and possible solutions suggested.
