摘要：	Urbanisation across the world has accounted for overstretching of urban amenities and transport facilities, as well as rise in car ownership, traffic congestion and visual intrusion. The aftermath effect led to rise in transport emission, environmental degradation, energy depletion, road crashes, climate change, public transport decline and other transport-related challenges. However, since accessibilities to socioeconomic activities are paramount to household wellbeing, sustainable transport system has been the discourse in recent literatures. In view of developing inclusive infrastructures for sustainable and efficient urban mobility, this study examines "walking on urban road with respect to socioeconomic benefits and challenges". Discrete Choice Model by Ben-Akiva & Lerman (1985) was adopted and modified to capture the modal preference of respondents. 246 questionnaires were administered to elicit information from civil servants in Ilorin metropolis, Nigeria. Descriptive methodology and stepwise regression were used to avoid spurious result. The findings show that: income; distance of the trips; purpose of the trips; time of the trips; trip frequency; car ownership; location of residence and walking routes are the core determinants of walking. The study suggested that government should put incentive and regulatory policy and mechanism in place to enhance compliance to speed limit, respect of pedestrian right of road and proper road parking to guarantee safety of pedestrians. As well as protect pedestrian right of way against encroachment by other road users and erection of physical materials like sign post, excavation, obstruction from roadside retailers' stands. It equally suggested proper demarcation of pedestrian path and provision of street for illumination.
