A major cause of traffic in Lagos is students traveling across localities in order to go to school.
Observe traffic patterns during holidays, midterm and school season.

The major causes of Logos traffic congestion are overpopulation. I think the state government share the blame.

Government should begin or support massive building estate construction in places like Epe area, Badagri area, Ebulegba area, Ikorodu area, etc.

Make it easy to buy land. Remove bureaucratic bottlenecks. Remove Omonile's defrauding people and causing investors to panic about land acquisition in Lagos.

Encourage online services in Lagos. Anything that could be done online should be encouraged.

Repair roads when due.

As we prepare for work tomorrow monday, lets look at what causes traffic in Lagos.

Do you know most times when you get to what causes traffic jam in Lagos you might not really see what happened but lets look at the major actors of this problem in Lagos

Bad Roads
[img][/img]
Bad roads in Lagos slow down the movement of vehicles as drivers try to manoeuvre their way through the pot holes. The more vehicles that slow down to navigate pot holes, the more traffic builds up. When this goes on for a long time, it results in a gridlock.

DANFO BUSES ( Yellow Buses)


These drivers are notorious for violating traffic laws. They drive recklessly, drive against traffic, and drive non-road worthy buses. Worse is their act of passenger pickups at undesignated areas. Without warning, these buses stop on main roads and cause traffic jams. One example is at the Ajah bridge, where the buses and the market on the expressway are the sole cause of what could be an hour-long traffic jam.

Nurtw Task Force ( Agbero)


These Guys would deliberately stop buses from moving until they collect that their tax from the danfo buses, sometimes it ends up in a brawl .

Okada (Bike Riders)


Even thou this is the fastest mode of transport in Lagos, when this guys are looking for customers they can block the road just to get one person to enter their bike

Keke Napep


I guess because of their size they think they can just enter any small lane and bypass motor cars. As a driver you need to be careful when this people are by your side any small turn you brush them.

Nigerian Police Force


Everybody Knows what this people do on the road, Illegal Extortion from danfo drivers, Illegal check points , following one way etc

Lastma


Some times in the name of catching danfo drivers do you know this guys can block the road for almost 1 hour if you don’t believe please go to ikeja Along or oshodi. Lastma officials have being seen dragging the steering with a driver on numerous occassions

Impatient Drivers


A typical example is a road that should normally have 3 lanes becomes 6 lanes because everyone is in a hurry and wants to move at the same time. This would go on for a while until they get to a point where the road narrows to what should be a lane or 2 probably due to an intersection or the topography of the road, people begin to scramble to return back to the original 2 lanes.

Inexperienced Drivers

You see those people with L at the back of their car, run from them. They usually take time while driving and usually very stubborn too

Hawkers

Tanker Drivers

Re: Major Causes Of Traffic On Lagos Roads by Beke2020: 10:21pm On Jan 26, 2020
cool
But for the last point impatient drivers.
That's why we have fast lane. But you see cars driving at 40k/h on fast lane.
I think road users should be reorientated about it.moreso, most road user are not conscious of their driving thereby causing unnecessary traffic.e.g you see a heavy duty vehicle moving that is not road worthy, then another of the same type trying to overtake most times ascending a bridge, the driver knowing fully well that his vehicle is not better than the one he wants to overtake. As both vehicles struggles, the result is traffic build up behind.

Major Causes Of Traffic On Lagos Roads...poor government planning and organisation. The rest are symptoms of the above mentioned
Re: Major Causes Of Traffic On Lagos Roads by christinme224(m): 11:54pm On Jan 26, 2020
Op yes you are 50% right in ur write up but you need to study my book " Reason for traffic in big cities like Lagos"..... Cities like Tokyo,Delhi,Shanghai,Mexico City,São Paulo,etc and even ordinary Cairo in our own Africa have solved their own traffic wahala...Any big city like lagos with up to 20million population that does not have job rotation (shifting) will surely experience heavy traffic...Job rotation is the the solution....that's means we will not have any rushing hour...Till then we will not stop having traffic

Lagos is too over congested...
Re: Major Causes Of Traffic On Lagos Roads by hoover420: 7:22am On Jan 27, 2020
A state as populated as Lagos doesn’t have a working railway system. All the govt knows how to do is expand and repair roads. Just take a look at oshodi to iyana ipaja for instance! Instead of doing a light rail which will convey commuters from oshodi to ikeja down to iyana ipaja, they are busy expanding the roads. Our leaders lack common sense and they act like they don’t travel abroad
Re: Major Causes Of Traffic On Lagos Roads by bigtt76(f): 8:29am On Jan 27, 2020
Lagos traffic is something else. It's back to the Lekki-Ikoyi link bridge after taking a break cheesy .....technology can't save us from it. The thought making payments electronic would help forgetting the human factor. Las las we will be fine undecided
