Herbert Macaulay Road is a prime road in Yaba, Lagos. It has a length of about 5.13 kilometers.

The road is gradually earning the status of Nigeria’s version of Silicon Valley. This is so because it is home to a growing number of tech companies.

Note that Herbert Macaulay Road, Yaba, was Facebook’s founder, Mark Zuckerberg, first port of call during his visit to Nigeria in August 2016.

Now that entire aside, Herbert Macaulay Road also has some very interesting landmarks.

For instance, the stretch of Herbert Macaulay road, starting from Adekunle Bus-stop to Jibowu, lies 8 very conspicuous pedestrian bridges. Arguably, this is the highest number of pedestrian bridges on a single road in Nigeria.

Interestingly, the 8 pedestrian bridges are relevant on that road only as landmarks. No one seem to be interested in putting them to the use that they were designed for.

Well, aside from the fact that Lagosians are legends for being in meaningless haste, the relatively narrow Herbert Macaulay roads, together with the light traffic on the road doesn’t exactly help matters.

Perhaps, the authorities should consider an alternative such as speed bumps, zebra crossing and mini-staircases over the elevated medians on the road.

Hopefully, if these are done, “Yabarians” would put them to use.

Questions
1. Do Nigerian drivers pay attention to that?
2. Do people know when to cross a road with traffic lights

No No No!

Silicon valley is a place they read about in the books.

Forgive them for they know not what they are saying.

Autojosh, I pity you, enter there for night na people 3 bedroom flat be that.

I was shocked when I entered Lagos for the first time and we just exited Third Main land bridge towards another bridge I don't know the name, I saw a man living under a bridge with his wife and kid.

I later found out that every single bridge in Lagos are occupied. Even people are living and fvcking their wives under third main land bridge. Their houses were built with floating logs of wood.

It seems that if an afonja is not living under a brown roof, he is living under a brideg. God will help them sha.

I don't think their christians are part of that madness, except brown roofs of course.

If the government run a promo or bonanza for the usage of those bridges, you see that people will start making use of it

Even before I opened the thread this is the area that immediately came to my mind. Used to hang out around there a lot. The roads there are quite narrow, using the bridge would be purely for exercise.

A typical example of how roads should be constructed, with futuristic consideration.

The day I took the one at the Library close to Saint Dominic and met a mad man sitting on the bridge. It was not funny at all. The way I flied off the bridge is still a mystery to me up to date.

Lagos is a jungle. Very dirty and dangerous state.

I wonder how people survive here.

Those bridges are too high. They could use a lift.
And there’s is no provision for disability. Poorly executed

Good idea,high number of schools in the area especially the area from jibowu to sabo , and from sabo onwards it is a busy commercial area ,and in general its a busy residential and sporting area, to summarize it all the area has a high pedestrian population so the proportion of footbridge is okay for that road.
