MKO4ever: But no: - Expansion of existing roads? - Building of new roads? - Building of new connecting bridges? - Developing policies that forces/persuades businesses to be more decentralised? - Improving the quality of cars on the road to ensure they are roadworthy and avoid breakdowns? - Developing policies that forces good driving to avoid accidents and sharp breaking that causes traffic? - Redesigning roads to improve navigation (e.g. turning around easily when you miss your turning)? - Improviing road markings and traffic lights? - Providing easy parking spaces so people that want to stop and park don't hold up traffic? - Getting rid of trucks parking irresponsibly? - Improving accident/incidence response teams ability (so when something does happen they can quickly and easily respond to free up the road)? - Dealing with pedestrian and hawkers' behaviours on the road? I don't fcking stay in Lagos, I only visit once in a while, and I have more solutions to solve the traffic problem, in a single sitting down brainstorming and generating inchoate solutions, than the Lagos government "experts"? All just from my observations while on holiday? Nigeria is in trouble. ![]() 4 Likes |

There are more people in lagos than London yet london doesnt rely on road useage alone for commute, lagos has no functional rail system which would take alot of people off the roads...strict road taxes and parking fines should be encouraged so people will learn to use public transport in the metropolis like other cites in the world... 1 Like |

MKO4ever: And you forgot one very important one: introduce navigation software (e.g Google Waze). You're still using the analogue system (radio system) which is why many Nigerian Politicians think they know the problem but go to office and do rubbish especially with poor advisers who claim to know but don't know |

The problem with Lagos is that there's hardly an alternative route to take when one route is congested. Take Ikorodu for example, the only way you can enter Ikorodu is thru mile12 except you want to go thru Lagos Ibadan express way, which is also prone to congestion. Let there be alternatives and the traffic will be greatly reduced. Its more about alternative routes than the condition of the roads. |

sucess001:it is the same problem with the bus system.cost of ferry,maintenance and possible patronage.some people will rather be in holdup than on water. |
Re: This Is How Ambode Wants To Solve Traffic Problem In Lagos by mrinsurer: 5:52pm On Jul 01, 2015 |
Government should introduce a legislation that will make it mandatory for commercial vehicles to have fitted air conditioner.This will mean automatic phasing out of danfo and moluwe buses from our roads and replacement with modern buses and taxis. A dedicated NURTW community bank should be established that will take care of funding of purchase of commercial vehicles in the State. The law that ban movement of heavy trucks in the day time should be enforced. Only BRT will be allowed on the express roads and buses will ply inner city roads. Government should create alternative roads to lessen traffic on hot spots. 2 Likes |

Lol Mr Lagoon Ambode will solve problems...."by introducing a world class traffic information and management system". Can't get pot holes eliminated,can't solve the madness of street traders,can't keep a city clean or control the chaotic mushrooming of substandard shacks yet he's reaching for "world class" systems.

lagos bus drivers constitute 60% of Lagos traffic. they av turned the express and freeways to mobile park. the traffic you see on Apongbon-CMS-VI route are caused by unscrupulous drivers that pick passengers all the way from apongbon to CMS. they won’t just use the empty park provided fro them by state govt. all these in front of LASTMA officials. ![]() 2 Likes |

Bibidear: The major problem is the indiscriminate loading of passengers by public transporters especially Danfo drivers. The solution is impose fine on defaulters. (Ask me how)I bet u this is the only way out of the menace. 1 Like |

Chai!! Is this the best Ambode can come up with about solving Lagos traffic problem??The number one problem we are facing in Lagos as Lagosians??We are finished in Lagos!! Even an average nairalander knows that this plan cannot work,hence they are proffering a better solution. This is what you get when you allow tribal bigotry to becloud your thinking.It is becoming more obvious that Yellowbars made a terrible mistake in the last elections both at Federal and in Lagos state. |

Austinleo: I dont know about the looting. But this is a very insightful line of thought that hits at the heart of problem. ALTERNATIVE ROADS . Here in Dallas, believe me the network of tarred roads in that city is magnificent. This is apart from the very effective light rail system that runs through the city in tandem with a timely public bus system called DART. For every destination there are at least 5 different routes to get there. As long as there are no ALTERNATIVE ROADS or other effective and convenient forms of transportation, like LIGHT RAIL the problem of congestion will continue. 2 Likes |

MKO4ever: Nice suggestions. In my opinion, --Improving traffic radio 96.1fm will do nothing. Traffic Announcement should be left to any public or private radio operating in lagos. --Increasing the number of LASTMA on the road. This move should be left alone the way it is presently. Increasing their number will only add more trouble in managing them and more overhead cost of running the agency. Can the LASTMA agency even sustain itself or they still depend on some relief from the State? --Increase the number of CCTV....[/b]Lagos or Nigeria for that matter is not ready for this. We need to get a central and complete database of Nigerians first. Therefore, this may end up being a waste of money and already scarce resources. -- [b]Fix the potholes. Yes, this should be left to the hands of LCDA'S and local Government. These guys should be held accountable for maintaining roads within their jurisdiction. So simple. We are talking accountability here. --Take care of Danfo drivers! This is a social problem that has been around with us for quite a long time and it will take quite a while to erase or control the agbero mentality among these danfo boys. In my opinion, i think alternative to road transport (water ways, ferry) will make the agberos sit tight and approach driving on lagos road with a positive sense. It will not happen in one day, but surely their thinking will be re-wired once they realize that there is alternative to get around Lagos. There will be competition among danfo drivers and the waterway/ferry. Most and if not all these danfo drivers can not read or write. You just wonder how the navigation thing will work. Open up new or alternative routes. So simple and yet difficult to reason out by the government or ministry of transport. --More fly-overs: both pedestrian and for vehicles - Lagos does not need a soothsayer to realize that this is needed as a matter of urgency of NOW or time immemorial. Lagos state government need to open up so many NEW industrialized places with carefully planned road network. Sometimes you just wonder what the town planning guys are doing? Lastly, Commissioner of Transport. Whats up with you? You need freshh thinking and ideas and if you are not capable, then resign. 1 Like |
