These school girls are waiting to cross the extremely busy Gbagada Expressway at Gbagada/Mobil bus stop. This road has cars zooming past at high speeds. People living in the area are put at risk whilst crossing the expressway everyday. Someone should do something about this!

So you can be looking up to their pants abi?

^^^^^ another nl schmuck.
smh

Haba, na only toto enter ur brain wit this write-up? So u will rather see dem crushed to death than savely walk on pedestrian bridge?

@ Lasinoh, you are a real mu-mu toto don enter ya head finish. Someone posted something that is important you are bastardising it

I agree with you OP. About time the FG or State govt do something and not after losing someone.

Arent there nearby bridges they can use? I do think that the federal ministry of works locate bridges at certain intervals. Probably the ministry may revisit that policy and shorten the intervals between bridges in certain areas due to usage or population density.

Are we asking for see through bridge? I don't get how you can see anything.


There should be traffic lights or something. Gosh!

whatever happened to zebra crossing?

traffic wardens?

lasinoh

sharrap there.

Zebra crossing? Now that is just asking to be crippled or worse. Some of those bus drivers are untrained and insane.

what this, even though one was built they still cross the road

The distance is too long now. It is about 15 minutes walk. Considering the fact that you have Gbagada Phase 2, Atunrase Estate on both sides of the express. This particular spot is overdue for a pedestrian bridge.

of course the kids need a pedestrian bridge

LWKMD. Gwad! Are you for real?!

That place is a dangerous spot.The kids would have to manage though cos i dont see them building any pedestrian bridge close to there.

What is needed is an over-head bridge @dat place
Zebra crossing are for less busy, inner city roads and not major roads.

There is need for pedestrian Bridge, not only in gbagada, also along Lagos Ibadan express way, the population of the people living in that area is very high Opic, Wawa, Mowe, Arepo, IBAFO, REDEEM e.t.c

There are some brainless humans on ND,its necessary for pedestrian bridges built all over the bustops.

thank you

@poster- this is nothing! u ever tried to cross at MOWE? u said high speed? u aint seen nothing yet! people get killed there on a daily basis! u have to take a bus into lagos, cross a safe road then take the bus back!

Hunmmm, that expressway has a pedestrian bridge by charlie boy bus stop, these girls could have also used the Gbagada link bridge in front of Mobil gas station. Unfortunately, children of nowadays do not want to walk at all, in our day we'll walk from Palmgrove to obanikoro to attend the Great school LASCA, I did say BABSACA oooo,

@bolded, granted that the link bridge exists but you and I know that it was never designed for pedestrians and using it is almost as dangerous as crossing the expressway. A pedestrian bridge should be put in that place.

gerrout! lol palmgrove is not far from obanikoro :p

U cant build bridges evrywhere.
If they can exercise patience, there is always a time d road will be less busy that they can walk pass.
Speaking from experience. I crossed d sanya express daily in my JSS n 2nd rainbow in SS, both of apapa oshodi expressway. Till today, i dont run on expressway if i cross over.

Nobody should be crossing an expressway for goodness sake and you cannot put bridges everywhere. The solution is a good busing system that drops people off in places that makes sense. If you have to walk 10 minutes to cross then so be it. Kind of reminds me of how cars where driving on the wrong side of traffic in Nigeria simply because the next point of exit would have been another 2 miles. Life no get duplicate. Walk the 15 minutes to cross at the proper location.

This is being inconsiderate.  And the fact that you crossed the express way on your student days does not mean every student has to pass through that ordeal. Bridges can and should be built everywhere there is a need for it.  This is the development mindset. It also shows how much regard we have for human lives.

Not sure a pedestrian bridge will work. They are often too few and too far away for many pedestrians that it becomes impractical.

Most of these roads should not be highways/ freeways at all.

It's unfortunate that govt over the years have neglected road infrastructure. These roads in close proximity to residential areas should have street lights and walk crossings for pedestrian folks. Unfortunately due to the limited road infrastructure we have, the roads are too busy for such solutions.

A freeway to bypass these residential areas will free these smaller roads up for such solutions. (traffic lights, pedestrian crossings e.t.)

It will be better to build expressways/ freeways to drain fast moving traffic from these "Trunk B" roads so they can be more pedestrian and commuter friendly

Please everyone, this is not a joking matter. I commend the efforts of the original poster. I could have been long dead on this road if not for God. This road really needs an overhead bridge because it is an eight lane road on which you must sprint for your life to cross with the roaring noise of juggernauts in your ear drums. It is not a good thing to see school children crossing this road daily. I cross this road to get to work everyday because I don't have a choice than to do it. The nearest overhead bridge is at 1st Pedro, miles from Gbagada and the Gbagada link bridge is not a pedestrian bridge. Should I back oncoming traffic to cross? What is the point then. And who says you cant build pedestrian bridges all over? I dare to say that is a wrong reasoning please, it is not only necessary but expected for a government that values the lives of its citizenry. No one needs to be told that Nigerian government does not value our lives. I'll quit the job if nothing changes, I cannot go and die because of a job, Yes, I can quit my job but these children must continue to go to school. Concerned authorities should please be contacted to do something about it.

In situations like this someone always get killed whiles crossing the road.

On a fast express way pedestrians are bound to always make a wrong timing of distance and speed of vehicles and this always results in brutal and fatal accidents.

I have seen it happen on many occasions.

You are right; the government should spend a couple of thousand dollars to have a simple pedestrian bridge built before it’s too late.
