This research evaluates the impact of erosion and runoff on street roads. Reconnaissance survey was
carried out to assist in the identification and accurate delimitation of the study area, out of which thirteen streets
were selected. Factors responsible for erosion in the study area were observed to ranges from natural cause
including topography, rainfall and soil nature. Human factor responsible for erosion in the area studied include
land use pattern and waste disposal method, poor construction and maintenance activity. Effect of erosion on the
studied area includes Rendering of road way non motorable through creation of gullies, Carving in (slope
instability) on drains ditches that were not lined, Flooding of road ways during rain due to blockage of drains,
Pollution of water bodies in the environment as a result of sediment deposition, Destruction of Pavement
infrastructure i.e. pavement, culverts and drainages. It is therefore concludes that Erosion also have various
effects on street roads not all factors assumed to be responsible for erosion form agricultural perspective is
responsible for erosion on street roads. However, with good management practices, and paving of roads, the
problems of erosion in built up area can be controlled.
