Similar thing happens at Oniru Road when coming from Ligali Ayorinde.

Rather than put a proper sign to guide people not to make a turn, the corrupt Officer would lurk around to see the 'new' guy who would fall victim of their extortion.

OP God bless you. I saw how ignorant people were commenting on the vehicle auction thread.

Yes in as much as a lot of drivers in Lagos are crazy, a whole lot of those people whose cars were auctioned were innocent. Some roads in Lagos have no road sign, and u will see some LASTMA officials and Police stationed there waiting for ignorant people to catch and exploit them. I was once a victim.

I was driving out from the MMIA and I was called back, before getting to a particular bridge on that road, theres an opening for a U turn being used when the road was being constructed. When I got there and wanted to turn to go back to the airport, I noticed a toyota camry coming from the other side of the road and blocking me, even though there was enough space for both of us, After a while he drove off only for a hummer bus to block me and some police men and LASTMA officials jumped down in a gestapo style and rushed into my vehicle.
We drove down to LASTMA office and They claimed I was driving one way, I was mad but my car was already in their yard and they were threatning me they will auction it. I have to make some calls and my car was released to me. When I was about leaving their yard, I suggested to their boss that that place should either be blocked completely or a no u turn sign placed their so that ignorant people won't keep falling prey there, he simply laughed and asked me if I want to close that "SHOP" I was simply dumb founded.

Most driveways in Lagos have zero road signs as such innocent and ignorant commuters always fall prey to those wolves in uniform.

Lagos State government should as a matter of urgency improve in their road signs especially on the mainland where there a lot of "one way" drive ways.

One thing they take serious outside the country is road signs

signz:
Roads like that are many in Lagos, no sign to know you're entering One-Way.

Lastma, Police and Agberos lay ambush.

Wish i had stoopid money, i would've taken LASG to court. There should be a judicial pronouncement that makes it illegal for Police or Lastma to arrest anybody that makes the mistake of flouting the One way rule because there isn't a visible sign.

These ones are worse. The Dopemu bridge becomes one-way at 3 pm. You cannot go from Akowonjo to Dopemu anymore but can go from Dopemu to Akowonjo. There is a sign there but it is hidden behind a tree. Most drivers will miss it and even the few that don't will only notice it after climbing the bridge. Yet, those LASTMA and traffic officers will stay at the top or end of the bridge waiting to arrest innocent drivers that default that law.

Whobedatte:

Na police dey there ,highest na 3k you Roger them and they leave you .
Do you know the one way signal is very small and it is hidden under tree leaves ?
There is another one which disgusts me , there is a street called Daramola along AKOWONJO road beside a filling station called first Royal , LASTMA officials hide behind a shop at the entrance of the street when coming from D dems at AKOWONJO road , the place is dark and they hide behind the shop waiting for one way drivers thereby neglecting their primary responsibility of regulating traffic
Very useless people

Shoodboi:


I know the sign is hidden behind a tree and agree with the police officers being there most of the time. But LASTMA goes there once in a while. They position someone at the middle of the bridge, around the stairs, with the rest standing by their vehicle at the end of the bridge. You'd have passed the center of the bridge before you see them. And if you try reversing, the one in the middle of the bridge shows up and enforces an arrest.

Corridon:
Government should look into this. Maybe some corrupt officers are using that area to make money.

StanleyOnline:


You mean the street is one way?

StanleyOnline:


Are you serious about this?

Wande22:
all those places should be snapped, this thread screenshot and tweet LASG, Jide Sanwoolu & LASTMA on Twitter also tag media houses concerning It

The street is not one way . When coming from akowonjo road , instead of going turning in front of the filling station opposite the UBA bank so you don't get to egbeda bus stop due to yellow buses and korope plying that route (traffic) , there is a demarcation say 20 meters , some cars enter the other lane of the road which is actually a one way traffic to enter Daramola street and beat egbeda bus stop traffic
