Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode has set his sights on drastically reducing the traffic problem bedeviling the State by introducing a world class traffic information and management system. The globally tested traffic system which has worked for many cities similar to Lagos may have caught the eye of the Governor who wants to see Lagosians spend less hours in traffic and more in their offices and at work, according to the State government. Investigations have revealed that in the next couple of weeks, the governor will work with some experts to design a system that fits the Lagos traffic pattern. Lagos is home to some of the worst traffic congestion in the world. Traffic congestion is a daily challenge in the metropolis with highly undesirable socioeconomic and environmental effects, increasing stress and pollution levels and reducing overall productivity. There is an urgency to decongest perennial traffic spots like the Third Mainland Bridge, Abule Egba, Apapa, Ojota and Dopemu. The State says it will introduce a world class traffic information and management system. A smart network comprising of hundreds of cameras, road sensors and electronic displays have been specially designed to collect and deliver real time information to city commuters that will help regulate traffic. Highly visible displays and a mobile phone application will flag highly congested hotspots, suggest alternative routes and estimate arrival times – all in real time, according to the traffic management blueprint. The State government says it realises that information is power and is set to empower Lagosians with more traffic information ahead of time. Ambode has also said he is confident of reducing the time spent in traffic, drastically improve each commuter’s quality of life and improve the city’s productivity as a whole. The Governor avers that in big cities of the world, traffic information systems have helped improve traffic flow to a large percentage. Since he took over the reins, Gov Ambode has spent more time trying to solve the Apapa traffic conundrum and other traffic related problems in Lagos. http://www.native9ja.com/ambode-traffic-problem-in-lagos/ 18 Likes

One of the major problems lagosians face is this transports doom of a thing. Aside the fact that you can access ease of transportation from wherever you want to go to coupled with hold up traffic jams and all sort, its just too expensive. This should also be reviewed. It's just too hike. I don't see any reasons why it shouldn't be comfortable for the people over there. The govt should try and work on both issues.

chuna1985: True that. Only alternative means of transport like rail or ferries can significantly reduce the congestion on Lagos roads. A traffic management system as proposed by the governor, will only provide marginal relief. When will the Lagos Rail project be completed that's what we want to know. 28 Likes 5 Shares |

I get a bit relieved when I see that some newly elected state governors are working already while the FG is messing around. Nigeria must move forward! Meanwhile, IT pros must be involved in this project. He should't just go and employ google or here to bring that service to Nigeria (Lagos) as the service is currently being tested in the US, Germany and select European countries. Employ our IT gurus and pay them to get it done. 3 Likes |

I smell Lies. If this comes to pass, i will use my bra for sunshades. Last time i was in Lag, from Ikeja Mall to Iyana Ipaja by 5pm, it took me almost 11pm to get home. That was when i decided Abuja was home. A city where you have to do Mathematics in your head before going out so as to avoid traffic. 6 Likes |

[size=16pt]Waste of time. The easiest way to manage Lagos traffic lies in the waterways. The environment is grossly under tapped. The water that runs from mile two runs through Apapa to Cms to vi to Lekki phase 1 to Ikoyi to Ajah and to Ikorodu..... You don't need to even allocate money for building roads...just get a federal licence to manage a state transport system and you allow private sector participation...you are good to go. Once you create that alternative, the cars will reduce on the road and you have a smoother drive in Lagos...how come the commissioner of transport hasn't thought of this?[/size] 35 Likes 2 Shares |

Re: This Is How Ambode Wants To Solve Traffic Problem In Lagos by Austinleo: 5:07pm On Jul 01, 2015 |
Ok.... But i see people wey still no get sense to know where to start from..... Person wey go do this needs more than enough alternative roads for commuters... Question is: Even with the info, will commuters have alternative roads to go around the traffic? Smdh!!! Bad planners Start by fixing roads first and creating various alternative routes and you wouldn't have to spend too much on Traffic Report Navi Systems.... Note: In other (Developed) countries, even with all that (Traffic Report Systems, Many Alternative Routes e.t.c) Traffic is inevitable I see here another looter........ 4 Likes 1 Share |

This is when you know a governor that is intelligent and exposed. I am really impressed by his potential. Improving transportation alone could increase lagos gdp by more than 25% within the next four years. More measures are obviously needed, but this is a great idea. 2 Likes 2 Shares |
