As I journey back to #Lagos, the nightmare of #traffic dawn on me again. Trying to seek solution instead of complain, I noticed the major reoccurring cause of traffic is bottleneck across junctions/turning, our junctions/turning are not well planned. #FERMA @tundefashola @nitpng

I studied #URP & one of the fundamentals of #TransportationPlanning is to avoid reduce the number junctions/turning especially along major transport corridor hence the need for service lane.@tundefashola @nitpng @Gidi_Traffic @trafficbutter @EniadeYomi @Mz_dholarike @abiolanoble

Since it's almost impossible to have reduced turnings and service lane on all transport corridors, I strongly feel the need to expand the U-turning points should be considered. It's the highest causing factor for traffic. @tundefashola

I also noticed the impact of bus terminal and commercial buses parking on the roadside. There was recent expansion but they are still with narrow entrance causing long queue before entering such park& prolong #traffic congestion.

The expansion of the bus park will help in reducing #traffic if there could be multiple entrance to the park coupled with law enforcement agency(s) that ensure buses doesn't stay too long and comply with other rules. @jidesanwoolu @tundefashola @nitpng #TPL #NomoreTraffic

I did a thread regarding Lagos traffic and solutions. RT till it gets to the appropriate authority.
