Lagos Govt To Use Technology To Tackle Traffic

The Lagos State Government has said that in its bid to mitigate the traffic situation in the state, it will employ the use of technology to tackle the enduring problem.

The commissioner said that the scheme was proof of the state's dedication to improving the traffic situation in the state.

He added that the state government would continue to utilise technology to alleviate the stress Lagosians experience while commuting.

Omotosho also said that there would be a deployment of close circuit cameras (CCTV) at Allen Avenue roundabout and, subsequent installation work will be done in areas where "it recently completed junction improvement works."

He said, “The government has mounted close circuit cameras at the Allen Avenue roundabout and other areas where it recently completed junction improvement works.  When these cameras are all over Lagos, it will be needless for LASTMA officials to embark on physical arrest of offending vehicles, as any motorist who offends traffic regulations will be ticketed and such fines taken to their homes.”
