The New Lagos State Traffic Laws and Penalties

---

The New Lagos State Traffic Laws and Penalties Lagos Traffic Law regime is designed to protect law abiding road users.
It is also designed to ensure that those who flout any of its stipulations are made to face the consequences of their action
so that they can be reformed and join the law abiding group. However, the traffic management regime is not designed to
empower officials of any agency of the State to molest, intimidate, extort or make a law breaker out of any Lagos
resident/stakeholder through the demanding and giving of bribes so as to avoid unsavory situations.

Enforcing the law is the problem, every na bribe.

When they catch one offender now, he go call one oga wey him know for top positions. that one go speak to the enforcement guys to leave him....

Government convoys are the most reckless drivers and are disobedience to traffic laws in Nigeria.

lalasticlala and mods. Let people know about this.

Broken windscreen abi?! Watch police and everybody arresting for cracked windscreen. They should let them know the difference between broken and cracked windscreen o...

I was almost embarrassed when one policeman stopped me for a little scratch on my windscreen. These men should be well tutored.

Nice Development,....

Smoking and drinking... Danfo pple go suffer.. And private owners as well

Driving fuel tanker and roasting people with it nko?

Hmmmmmmmmm.... It is well

Nawa

last last dem go still collect 5 - 10k. if you talk well.

With all dis wey dm list out

Dm go stil collect bribe for road side

Useless law

initial gragra

Too harsh,lets be frank

For naija?

Full lights should be used when necessary. I don't understand how not using it is an offence.

Okay oooo.

..

Lol

In a country where minimum wage is less than 20k.. simple fine is over 30k

The funny part is, law enforcer won't go after big man politicians that will break these laws. Cos He will simply call his superior and he will be released.

It is the poor people who are managing with their 300k kabu kabu just feed their family that will face these useless fines.

Well done.

this one na opportunity for officials to chop enough bribe money.

These laws are rather inhuman and shows a disperate attempt at extortion than providing orderliness on Lagos Roads.

Otherwise how do you explain such strict penalities for civil offences as though they were criminal.

Execpt for forged documents and fake license plates, everything else here are plain finable and not jailable offences.

After all, the Federal Road Traffic Offense list is not half as this strict.

Again, the term 'Imbound' as used here leaves no explanation as to what becomes of the vehicle.

These are not realistic rules.

A simple fine for each offence committed and heavier fines for repeat offenders will do a better job of ensuring orderliness than this.

These traffic laws are Funny. Still looking for ways to tax lagosian dry. See the ridiculous amounts and jail terms even in the us they aren't dat crazy. Lol

The law enforcement agents,govt officials and "money-miss-road rich men with escorts flaunt this law most.

Harsh rules

Gov. Ambode kofoshi!

speeding when pedestrians are crossing

This is why you need a dashcam. Even if you dont have, your phone can double up as dash cam when driving. This guys can accuse you of violating rule 11 & 14.

Dang!

Would they punish the rich, famous and politically connected individuals as well.

Would they arrest someone like Davido should he commit any of the crime?
