plans to set a date aside to be observed as
a horn free day every year.
Commissioner for Transportation,

The Commissioner said that the
observance of the horn-free day is
expected to reduce noise pollution from
the use of the horn, improve road
courtesy, improve lane discipline and
draw motorists’ attention to the
importance of road discipline and mutual
respect for other road users.
He said Governor Babatunde Fashola has
challenged road users in Lagos State to
observe a horn-free day which is designed
to complement the on-going efforts by the
Lagos State Government in the provision
and upgrading of traffic infrastructure
across the State.
The activities lined up towards the horn-
free day, which is slated for Wednesday,
October 15, 2014 will involve active
engagement of radio and television
stations in generating discussions
challenging road users to observe a horn-
free day.
The day will also witness endorsement by
relevant stakeholders, Ember months
Campaign by Vehicle Inspection Service to
advocate, education and enlightenment of
road users on road safety, Law
Enforcement Training Institute’s (LETI)
community outreach programme which
involves market and motor park
engagements that will provide avenue for
discussion of the horn-free day and the
engagement of Traffic Safety Ambassadors
to partner with the Ministry of
Transportation to support the successful
observation of the horn free day.
Opeifa, however, urged all motorists,
Lagosians and the general public to
support the State Government by
observing and adhering to the horn-free
day exercise.

wow
can that work in lagos

Nice one

Horn in automobiles is very important. It saves lives. It prevents accidents. It is the mouth of an automobile. It calls other road users, motorists, pedestrians, etc, to order to avoid accidents. The proposed horn-free day may record unprecedented accidents in the state if observed. It doesn't make sense!

fashola is a human being like Jonathan full of pride wisdom knowledge God we need fashola in the federal so that Nigeria can move forward

E be like say d State IGR reduce small so Fashola wan use style increase it through dis trick. E no go work, make Road Safety keep their Ambullance around.

I can't do without horn in a less busy city like san andreas (GTA) Talkless of Lagos. Eko oni baje o

If I use horn what will happen?
Can Danfo and varagon bus driver do without horn and they won't kill plenty people?

Fashola & his crew get time oh

If you’re on motor way and the woman driving a car in front of you turns on the wipers when it’s not raining it can only mean one thing…she will be changing lanes.


Laws like this one cannot work where women drive.

Everyday should be minimal horn use day. Horn free day is actually not attainable in this present Lagos state.
