7 Things That Cause Unnecessary Traffic In Lagos by autojosh: 9:04am On Jan 21, 2017 |
For a long time Lagos roads and traffic have been synonymous.In recent times there has been significant decrease in amount of grid-locks in some major roads like Oshodi bus stop,but the traffic situation has not been totally alleviated.So what causes this ?, most of them are unnecessary and could be prevented. 1.Danfo Drivers The ” badoo’s ” and “James Bond’s” of Lagos roads, these guys drive anyhow,overtake anyhow,and even obstruct traffic to pick up passangers .They are one of the major contributors to unnecessary traffic in Lagos. 2. NURTW Levy Collectors Cousins of the Danfo drivers , they piss me off all the time .They would not let the Danfo buses , go without dropping “Wazo” ,causing the Danfo drivers to obstruct traffic. 3.Police The Men In Black as I call them , won’t just let drivers be ,both Danfo and private drivers are targets .Road blocks , bribes ,they don’t just stop.They are always stopping, searching and collecting . 4.Stubborn Drivers Private drivers are not left out of this scuffle ,there are some stubborn drivers .They just can’t wait for their turn ,bypassing traffic lights ,overtaking etc. 5.Arguments This would always come up when there are stubborn drivers.Yesterday a bike and a bus driver blocked the road for almost 15 minutes and it was a T-junction , imagine the grid-lock they caused .All they did was argue and yell threats at each other .Iya e !!! Baba e !! . 6.Buying And Selling Women are one of the major culprits here , hungry kids are mostly the indirect cause.Some men are not left out .Some folks can pause traffic for almost 2 minutes on a major way just to buy Gala. 7.Bad Roads This is so pathetic and there is nothing drivers can do about this .Bad roads would always slow down traffic.I am using this medium to call on the government to fix all the bad roads .Good enough there are improvements .But improvements are not enough ,we need better roads to prevent unnecessary jams and accidents . Have a thing or two to add ?, hit me with comments .Don’t forget to share. https://autojosh.com/7-things-cause-unnecessary-traffic-lagos/ 9 Likes

Officials in long convoys nko? The money for the convoys should have been used to fix our potholed roads, not so? In London etc, oyinbos who dash us aids and develop everything that we use, have their officials riding trains and buses. 7 Likes 1 Share |

those V.I.Os are making things worse.. you'll see vehicles including commercial ones trying to maneuver their way to avoid those guys. They will hit others, start arguments in the process thereby making life difficult for other road users |
