The Lagos State Traffic Management Authority has reportedly assured Lagos motorists of adequate traffic control .
The LASTMA said traffic personnel would be fully on the ground to professionally manage traffic before, during and after the yuletide.
This assurance was contained in a statement signed by the Assistant Director, Public Affairs of LASTMA, Olumide Oreagba on Mondsy while strategising with the Comptrollers and Zonal Heads at the LASTMA headquarters.
Oreagba said, “All motorists are urged to maintain speed limits as they embark on their journeys into, within and outside Lagos. Entry and exit points into Lagos will be fully manned by our officers for adequate control and management of traffic.
” Major entry/exit roads in Lagos like, Lagos – Ibadan, Lagos-Abeokuta, Lagos – Badagry, Lekki -Epe Expressways and Lagos – Ikorodu – Sagamu Highway, would be adequately covered by our personnel for smooth and seamless traffic flow.
“Major road intersections are not left out in our strategy for coverage by our officers to ensure a traffic-free Yuletide and ‘ember months end season for all Lagosians and visitors.”
The LASTMA boss further explained that as a responsive way of strategising to ensure free traffic flow, the agency has put in place various arrangements to make the Yuletide an enjoyable one by ensuring less travel time through efficient and effective traffic management.
He stated that LASTMA officers’ presence would be felt at all the major roads intersections along with regular and consistent patrols, especially along notorious traffic flashpoints.
He emphasized the need for all road users to adhere strictly to the traffic law, at all times, not only to avoid accidents but to also prevent avoidable arrest and prosecution.
He said, “Everybody prays to experience the joyous season, be alive to witness the season and even beyond the season. We must therefore be moderate in the celebration of the season.
“Do not drink and drive and don’t constitute yourself and other road users to danger on the road, as the law will not be spared in dealing with errant road users who want to infringe on other people’s right to use the roads safely.”
