The Lagos State Traffic Management Authority has felicitated with Muslims across the state as they join other faithful world over in celebrating the Eld El-Fitr, which marks the successful completion of the Ramadan fasting.
In a statement issued by the Director, Public Affairs and Enlightenment Department of LASTMA, Adebayo Taofiq, he quoted the General Manager of LASTMA, Bakare Oki, as stating that Lastma had begun vigorous public enlightenment campaign programmes at motor parks and garages for drivers to adhere strictly with all traffic regulations.
He added that part of the campaign was also for passengers to know their rights “by cautioning drivers when on high speed or trying to maneuver in an attempt to drive against traffic which is ‘One-way.’
He warned against speeding, wrongful overtaking, lane violation, road obstruction, disobeying traffic lights, overloading and one-way driving.
Oki said, “The agency would not tolerate any avoidable infraction as a result of negligence capable of hindering the free flow of vehicular movement on roads across the state.”
The General Manager maintained that LASTMA officials would be at their lawful duty posts managing and controlling traffic before, during and after the Eld El-Fitr celebrations.
Last week, LASTMA warned motorists to observe speed limits when traveling along the extensive section of the newly repaired Third Mainland Bridge.
It urged motorists to observe all traffic signs and installed technological equipment connected to traffic.
