Thanks for including this.
After the completion of the jubilee bridge we all thought that the traffic situation would be a thing of the past.
Same traffic situation applies to the Abraham Adesanya round about coming down from the jubilee bridge.

Major Traffic Jam Routes in Lagos

Lagos is the commercial Hub, this comes with a huge price, according to Lagos state government report in 2018 over 12 million people use Lagos roads daily. Lagos is not only popular due to his business environment but equally its size.

As much as this traffic cuts across the whole of the state, some major roads in the state are more prone to this traffic than the other. Lagosians can spend up to 5 hours in a traffic. Its always hard to avoid traffic in Lagos

Iyana-Ipaja/Egbeda Road to Ikeja/Oshodi: Iyana-Ipaja/Egbeda are locations under Alimosho Local Government with a population of over 2 million people, many of this people live in ikotun, igando ,ojo etc. Most people living in alimosho either work in Ikeja or on the island.

Ikotun to Ejigbo road/Jakande Gate/Oke-afa/cele express: This road is always hell in the morning both for going and coming in the evening for workers, most people plying this route are either going to oshodi, apapa, Obalende/Cms. This is as a result of bad roads and inexperienced lastma officials.

Ojota to Palm-Grove/Anthony/Onipan/Yaba: The route is always blocked because of tankers that parked on yaba bridge and equally on the highway, you can spend sometimes two hours just to get to yaba.

Cele-express to Apapa/Coconut/Apapa: I have nothing to write about this because everyone knows till eternity this place will always be jammed. People who work in this area often sleep in their respective offices for the week to return home at the weekend all because of the traffic on this road. The reason for this is basically because there is only one major linking road to Apapa. The traffic gets even worse when tanker drivers decide to go park their tankers on the bridge instead of their designated park.


3rd Mainland Bridge: The large number of people who work on the Island and live on the mainland is the major reason for this terrible traffic. The fact that people can spend several hours in this traffic mean they’ve had to learn to leave their homes as early as 4am or 5am in order to meet up with their very early resumption time.

Opic Estate/Berger Road to Inside Lagos: This road leads all the way to Mowe and Ibafo in Ogun state. The relatively cheap housing in these areas also makes it a densely populated area, mostly people who work in Lagos. The high population in this area is one of the major reasons for the stand still traffic often encountered on this road. If there was another good road leading to these areas, maybe the story about the traffic would be a whole lot different. Since there isn’t, the horrible traffic tale on the road remains.

Notable Mentions

Ikorodu Road to ketu/Ojota

Ikeja Inside to Maryland

Iyana-Ipaja/Agege to Guiness/Ogba

Magodo Road/7up – Anthony-Isale/Island

Toll Gate to Kola/Abule-Egba

The Ikeja along axis to the MMA2 and the MMIA is a real
traffic jam spot. Get ready to miss your air flights if you
do not leave your house early or if you don't get a hotel
to stay near the airport.

Despite the fact that my younger brother was at
a major hotel in Ikeja near the international airport, he
was caught up in a major traffic jam on his way back to
his Manchester, UK base to be with his wife and
kids on February 14. Thank goodness he didn't miss
his KLM flight.

Mobolaji Bank Anthony axis/Maryland axis right to Maryland Mall
is another area I would not want to be visit again if I have an urgent
appointment. Time is money. grin

What Lagos and Port Harcourt need... most especially Lagos are more
comfortable hovercrafts/ferries to move a large number of people since over
60 percent of Lagos State is water and it has many islands... and the business
will be very profitable for any major investor. Most Lagos residents move from
the mainland to the island in the mornings and back in the evenings in their
millions!

The railway line is very expensive to build but it can also complement water
transportation. People need to start keeping their cute cars at home instead of
showing off in them. grin






The SR.N4 was refitted and expanded twice, growing to a capacity of 60 cars and 418
passengers: as many as a 747 airliner. The main ferry route was between Dover and
Boulogne, a 22-mile trip that took on average 35 minutes. However, when unloaded, the SR.N4
could go even faster, and the unofficial record for a cross-channel crossing was a blistering
15 minutes and 23 seconds. However, as the speed limit on the English Channel is 70mph, this
was never officially acknowledged.

Primary cause of traffic in Lagos

1. Impatient driving: Everybody wanna go through at the same time

2. Bad roads: That forces all vehicles to limit themselves to one lane on a double lane.

3. Commercial drivers: Those guys need proper mental evaluation

4. Lastma officials: 80% of them behave so untrained.

5. Road side traders: These women just deliberately occupy spaces meant for vehicular movement and still claim right.

6. Lagos is full to the brim: overcrowded is an understatement.
Most importantly, Trucks and tankers
