I know where you're talking about.that place is a den of street criminals and louts.

If government must compel people to use that place,they have to put the necessary law enforcement agents there

What is dubious here in ensuring that pedestrians use the pedestrian bridge for their own safety,rather than crossing the highway

ImoleNaija:
The Lagos State Government needs to ensure the pedestrian bridges are safe for the people to use. The fear of getting attacked or harassed by the hoodlums who roam about or live on the bridges makes people avoid the bridges at times.

All the advert posters that cover the walkways should be removed so that any activities going on there would be seen by everyone around.

Also, the security agents should be stationed there for night use.
You.people.arr full.of excuses

It's someone's business what he choses to his/her life. You don't think so?

A law that imposes fine bigger than what govt pays is unjust. Get the guy argument.

True, people in Awka are crossing the gutter between the express lanes anyhow and risk getting injuries doing so.

I wonder what they will benefit from that because the more people use the bridge the money the beggars that stay on it will make ,it makes sense for them to clean it than pour dirt on it
it makes sense for them to pour dirt on it and sweep it all day because when people like you see them sweeping, you give them money. I can bet there's no time you pass that there isn't a pile of dirt in his front that he's trying to sweep away. Cross the bridge ten times a day and the dirt won't move more than one step away from the seeeper

I don't know the parameter that makes Lagos state government to impose the fine of 50k, why not 5k? With our prisons overcrowded, we'll have a lot of stubborn and ignorant pedestrians in prison for this minor infraction, and this is another way for KAI officials and policemen to make money by baiting unsuspecting Lagosians to fall victim and extort them. Most laws especially that of traffic are draconian as those in authority know that culprits will be the already tormented masses. The traffic law and punishment for contraveventions by confiscation of vehicles and motorcycles for plying one way roads for the former and restricted roads for the latter is a typical example of the draconian nature of these laws.

Good

Modified:, Nigerians, particularly LAGOSIANS, are different breed of men. All government actions are always attacked with complaints (most times STUP!DLY)and when their faves/tribeman does same, they turn blind and dumb. FOOL!SH PEOPLE.

People still cross highway in US, Europe, Japan China, New York etc. There are zebra crossing etc.

These Lagos governors are just creating jobs for touts and Agbero.

-What is good in this one- that most of the bridges harbour Criminals.
-some bridges are eyes sour e g Ojota- 1st bridge is delapidated, and not maintained,same with Ketu bridges
- what about the One before 7- Up-on Lagos -Ibadan Express Roads- no maintenance!
•Some of these bridges have no roof and it seems,Lagos State is just Creating some of these ad-hoc depts for punishing the People or what is the Purpose and why don't you put things in place before punishment?
