This research investigates domestic strategies of highway codes in Nigeria and discovers that these strategies are products of the ingenuity and cultural bent of the Nigerian citizens, on the one hand, and the Nigerian government on the other, but more of the former than the latter. Out of the sixteen groups of domesticated codes encountered in the research, only two groups are government-designed while the remaining fourteen are attributable to the citizens. Significantly, the employment of almost half of the identified groups of citizens'-designed highway codes has effectively become part and parcel of the Nigerian culture. Not only would these domestic strategies of highway coding be both informative and educative to the outside world, some of them would also seem viable candidates for incorporation into a future highway code of the Federal Republic of Nigeria
