The yellow light is programed and timed by the approved speed limit for the road you are driving on. If the road is a high speed limit road then the yellow light will go on for a while allowing you to slow down and stop and same for a low speed limit road. In other words, whenever you see a yellow light, it means start to stop, if you are driving too fast and cannot slow down as fast enough then you should be arrested for driving above the speed limit.   what's the speed limit on state road or in residential areas? |

In Nigeria, there is noting like speed limit and 90% of Nigerian did not go to driving school before driving.
Come to Port Harcourt and see how those foolish Ikwerres are driving, reaching 100-120 within the street, and they will be yabing that na their land oh!.

80km/hr in open country and 50km/hr in population centers(residential areas), but commonsense says you shouldn't drive more than 30km/hr with the kind of traffic we have in 9ja urban centers In Nigeria, there is noting like speed limit and 90% of Nigerian did not go to driving school before driving. @phemzy, Where did u get that from? It shows that you certainly didn't go to a driving school cos if you did u shld know. If you take the time (while battling with your jalopy as a result of your half baked education in driving) you would see it clearly written on sign posts on some roads. |

some Nigerians make me laugh, their problem is either they havent seen a traffic light before because they live in the remote part of Nigeria, hence they think the traffic light is something that doesnt exist in Nigeria, but if you reside in Abuja, PH, Calabar, Lagos, then, traffic lights will not be a big issue to laugh about in Nigeria.

applicable to myself also
Hmmmmmmmm!@ Poster: I should think traffic signals (stop lights) have the same meaning worldwide. Red=Stop (time for Peds to walk) Green=Go Yellow = Prepare to stop However, I think it’s ok to go through the yellow flashing light but with caution. Just make sure the road is clear and pedestrians are not crossing the road. However, I always find myself “mashing” gas when I see that yellow light flashing just to get through before it turns red or green. I usually stop at the Red light but once in a blue moon I am a red light jumper (once there is no traffic signal camera around and the road is clear) Last year I went through a red light not realizing the car behind me was a Po-Po car. They pulled me over and warned me. If you ask me, I think they should have lessons for pedestrians, seriously. Coz, there are some careless and aggressive pedestrians who cross against the traffic lights. Some even take the risk while pushing a baby in a stroller. Then they (pedestrians) have the audacity to “roll-eyes” at you while taking their precious time walking across the street. Sometimes, I am like “HELLO!!! (foot on the gas), 1 love

If you live in Lagos - The fear of LASTMA, KAI, Police, VIO, FRSC is the beginning of wisdom
My brother if you don't want to part with your money (traffic fines or 'egunje'-bribe) then when you see amber light flashing stop unless you're driving as if robbers are pursuing you! This is the Lagos Traffic rules jare!

Traffic light is a method of regulating traffic. It is a way of preventing accidents and ignorance of it is no excuse. One shoul study it very well alongside the highway codes before venturing into driving.
