Governor Akinwunmi Ambode is
set to drastically change the face of Lagos traffic by introducing a world
class traffic information and management system in the state.
The globally tested traffic system which has worked for many cities similar to Lagos is set to have caught the eye of Ambode who wants to see Lagosian’s spend less hours in traffic and more in their offices and at work place.
In the next few weeks, We belief the governor will work with some experts to design a system that fits the Lagos traffic pattern. Today, Lagos is one of the home to some of the worst traffic congestion in the world.
Traffic congestion is a daily challenge in the city with highly undesirable socioeconomic and environmental effects, increasing stress and pollution levels and reducing overall productivity.

required to urgently decongest black spots such as Third Mainland Bridge, Dopemu
and Abule Egba with some other location.
The state goverment will introduce a world class traffic information and management system. A smart network comprising of hundreds of cameras apply to the road sensors and electronic displays have been specially designed to collect and deliver real time information to city commuters that will help regulate the traffic.
