I have over 100 ways to improve traffic in my book. I will state just one. All inner roads need to be widened to international standards. Enforce no parking, no encroachment, no market people selling on sidewalks. Widen the walkways. People should not walk on streets meant for vehicles Problem I see is that: Inner streets in developed countries would be called express ways in Nigeria |

If I were to be in Gov. Ambo's shoes the '2 things' I'll do to improve Lagos traffic are: 1. I'll implement the Diverging Diamond Interchange(DDI) Design, now used in the US, where necessary. The DDI Design provides a theoretical safety benefit, because car no longer need to turn against traffic. In the US, the DDI design has shown a 60% reduction in crashes, and they'll come with separate walking and biking paths. 2. I'll build subway routines for metropolitan travels. As this will help reduce car usage on roads and reduce 'go slow' and 'hold up'. These things I'll try as much possible to reduce traffic on the Roads of Lagos. Well, I'm not the Governor. Although, brilliant job by the Governor, he's really doing great! 2 Likes |

Scrab LASTMA The service of LASTMA need to be reevaluated. They are not working for the progress of the state, but for their selfish interest. Come to Cele b/stop along apapa oshodi express road, including National Stadium and Mushin. Do you know the commercial bus drivers and Kekenapep riders do pay them to buy right to park along the arrorow roadand be raiding passengers. The huge amount of fund the state govt. is paying them could be used for road maintaince and continuous public enlightenment on traffic education. Let's also invest more on security and information technology. So many are ready to use the road overnight for their regular transactions but because companies dont transact 24hours due to secueity backwardness thus the road will always get congested during daylight Regarding IT, create an open web and a reactive email server for receiving real time update and pay people that are able to give you detailed info about contemporary issues. Also mount CCTV at every traffic exchange point, you can be in your office and tail those that abuse the road. This will also help to create more jobs and reduce the dependent ratio. Let's stop over praising govt. we are not there yet |

There is problem with the vision of how roadside infrastructure should look like in the first place. Nigeria is big mess. But that's a topic for another forum. |

Knock off all roundabout and introduce a functional traffic light, make good of all "potholes" on the highway, ban agberos on the highway, look into the issues of trucks moving during the day time or to create another route for the trucks, all ancients bridges where only 2vehicles can pass at a time should be demolished and reconstruct to modern bridges. |

More traffic lights,more fly over and zero danfo. Infact danfo is a menace to civilized society,they are lunatics that speed across almost every traffic light. They drive like mad dogs especially under influence of paraga and hemp,and abuse commuters tryin to correct them, without sense of decorum. Ambode is doing it already,may God give him more wisdom and power to do it right. 1 Like |

It's required three major things 1. Light rail 2. Fourth mainland bridge 3. Jeties, water way transport system These will give a lasting solution |

Earthbound:even Shanghai and Tokyo that is far more overpopulated than Lagos even Shanghai is worse just like Lagos very congested and rough like Lagos still has better transportation system cuz all the modes of transportation are working if thier were to be an underground railway traffic who will take car..dough it will take Lagos time and money to lessen the traffic by doing that......aside from social life and companies around Lagos hasn't really tried in that aspect of transportation... |

5. More Roads Won’t Solve Congestion Issues To curb the problems of congestion, everybody must not move at the same time and peak-hour loads each day (e.g. 7AM & 5PM). If a certain number of workers are able to commute during less crowded periods of the day, why can’t we revisit this aspect of work-life, if it will free up space on formerly congested roads? Ever wondered why there is less traffic congestion in the highbrow areas of Lagos? It is partly because the rich do not rise early.

project4OO:which highbrow please o want to know... same thing will happen..a need for diversion is the key...create other means of transport... water and rail would make things easier and in fact make more money from it...but my problem is maintenance..who will maintain it...most people are thinking about embezzling all the income made from tax or using more means to extort money from the society without improving the facilities |

Number 1) Complete the drainage in the whole state and set up Bicycle lane on the finished drainage space (Nigerian Engineers can do this one) in all the local govement area. This will reduce trafic in each local goverment area. Then increase Public transport tarrif in those Local goverment area, this will force many to buy bicycle and run on the bicyle lanes. For example link up all the Bicycle lane in Kosofe Local government area, Badagri, Somulu , Ikeja is almost done but some are still lacking behind. Number 2) Start 4th mainland bridge and also cable car to link up Ikorodu to Island also set up more ferries and start teaching Primary pupils how to swim. Set up Swimming course in all Lagos state primary school to teach pupils how to swim. A course they must all pass to graduate.(Outcome is to make them scare-less of water). Extra: Once the Bluelane (Tram) is completed and all the above is done. Set up state road tax and parking tax to force people to stop using their cars when they can ride bicycle or use the Public transport. The road tax should be ROI for those who invested in Blue lane, drainage and 4th mainland bridge (they can set up toll gate for this one) Lobatan |

LastMa and LSNC NEIGHBORHOOD. are not contributing anything to the traffic situation in Lagos. Lagos should build alternative road. Repair and renovate all existing roads. Train your officers on how to reports event around them. Facility decay around them |

Lagos State is an ever growing city like every other city in the world. The only solution is to continuously work with construction experts to contruct more roads create easy “exits” to the high way for those leaving the city at anytime. And improve the road network |

autojosh: The only thing ambode can do to save Lagos is to call on the FG to reopen sea ports in Calabar, Rivers and Delta. He should also call on FG to build river ports in Imo, Anambra, Abia, Kogi and Benue states. |

sprints1: From where do u bring ur statistics from? Shanghai population is 24 million m their landmass is over 6000 sqkm, that's double of Lagos land mass. Tokyo population is 9 million. Their lnd mass is just over 2,000 sqkm |

solutionist: I think our leaders are stupid? They only execute projects that they can steal more money from and that is rail m road transport. And again the main cause of Lagos population growth is that people are relocating to Lagos every single day, especially my Igbo brothers. Once we graduate, We migrate to the no man's land, Lagos State. . |

autojosh: Ignorance bothers me. You cannot expect our traffic situation to be solved by lay-bys and flyovers alone. Study the problem scientifically. Step out and look at the problem from a holistic stand point. This problem has a simple solution but will take lots of work to get it done. I hear Ambode was engaging Japanese consultants to solve our transportation problem. This is not hard Many stadiums are built with quick evacuation designs and it is possible to evacuate thousands in seconds. This method need to be applied to transportation. It is not rocket science. This alludes to my previous comment on the implementation. Problem source: The road network in Lagos is designed for cities of around 3 million people. Most streets do not have the capacity to facilitate heavy vehicular movement. |

Take over all the parking lot in VI, Apapa, Ikeja, Ilupeju and all other industrial areas and make parking in such area N500 per hour from Monday to Saturday between 6am and 11pm and make sure a special task force manages its operation. Introduce special coaches with A/C , snacks and breakfast with wifi, newspapers and TV that will be shuttling between those industrial areas on scheduled time. This will discourage people from driving their cars. Restrict 'danfos and molues' from plying the industrial areas within the peak period only the special coaches. Setup an electronic ticketing system whereby people can load their tickets for the bus ride easily and conveniently. Establish 24/7 round the clock security all around Lagos with well trained detectives that can respond to any distress call within minutes. Local Taxis can only operate within the link roads and not the major roads within the peak period. More... |
