      abstract = {Analysis of parking patterns serves as a foundational step towards understanding the dynamics of urban mobility and providing valuable insights for policymakers, urban planners, and stakeholders involved in transportation management. Currently, there is no effective parking management system in most of the market centres in Ogbomoso, Oyo state. A structured questionnaire was administered to a sample size comprising 288 traders, 201 drivers and 363 visitors/customers, using a combination of incidental and purposive sampling techniques. Multiple regression analysis was used in analysing the data obtained. The analysis revealed that factors such as parking occupancy rates, parking duration, peak demand periods, limited parking spaces, and access and egress points significantly influence traffic flow.},
