unite4real: Well, kudos to the administrator responsible for the road you mentioned that gets its lanes renewed periodically. A good example of a road with perfect lane markings though is airport road Abuja. When traveling on that road, you forget for a second that you are still within Nigeria and the drivers all seem to adhere to lane discipline. However, that is not the case for majority of the roads I’ve seen in Lagos and Abuja. Majority of roads have barely visible lane markings, as they have faded over time, leading drivers to zig zag through unmarked roads. We need a standard for road rules in Nigeria and that standard cannot be possible if majority of our roads aren’t marked. You can’t cite the USA as an example of a country with unmarked roads, cause those who live there will attest to the fact that such roads are in the minority, maybe found in rural settings and even at that, it’d still be a rarity. I took a computer based driving test in the USA and most of the questions involved knowing the meanings of lane markings. Yellow lanes, solid lanes, dashed lanes, emergency lanes, H.O.V lanes, e.t.c How can we have such tests here in Nigeria when the citizens themselves drive daily on roads without such lanes. Even a road as prestigious as Lekki Epe expressway, doesn’t have lanes on most parts of it as they are all faded. 4 Likes |

VaselineCrew: They do. The problem is , Nigerians are not ready to pay the taxes needed to keep the lane markings well maintained. We like to admire the foreign countries with their pristine roads...but those foreign countries do something we don't...pay taxes for the maintenance of the road. Like in the UK, people pay something called Council tax, and other charges called 'congestion charges' which go into keeping the roads in good repair. Nigeria?? We used to have toll gates on our highways, and they were all removed.....and now the Ministry of Works does not have the cash to pay for keeping roads well maintained. 1 Like |

tayebest: Kubwa road actually takes you to Zuba, where it joins the Kaduna-Lokoja expressway. The Umaru Musa H/Way is the road you have in mind, and the road to the Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport(officially Bill Clinton Drive) branches off from that road. The Highway terminates at the Kaduna-Lokoja expressway at Giri village. 1 Like |

It reflect a culture of lack of order. Anytime I visit Nigeria and I am on the road especially few ones with road lane markings, I laugh like crazy because in the eyes of Nija drivers on that road, its like the marking doesn't exist. Like it has no purpose there. Virtually no one keep to a alone. They drive right on it and switch from one side of the road to another with total ignorance. It seem its a common problem in less developed countries. I have individuals from Egypt and India or Pakistan who joked about how drivers in their countries drive on the road. |
