Most roads that I've seen in Abuja has markings because the 'government' uses them. So, nothing concern them with the ones they don't use. |

Amount airmaked for proper construction of roads are not properly utilized for the purpose as a result of kickbacks, bribes and embezzlement thus important aspect of road constructions such as proper markings are neglected as trivial. Such negligence are the course of many avoidable accidents on our roads. |

I'm a Traffic Engineer and that is a good question to ask. I currently work in the U. S. First, to clarify not all roads in U. S have lane marking as well especially residential streets or in some rural areas. In that case drivers are expected to reasonably keep their lanes. However most if not all federal, state or county roads are designed to agency standard and would have lane markings. In Nigeria we don't have any standard. In facts many states don't enforce anything. It's not uncommon to find different colors or standards of markings within a single city or town or state in Nigeria. This can be very confusing to drivers who are suppose to interprete the lane markings. What we have in our case is a situation where the Chinese road contractor comes and implements whatever they do in China here. Julius berger comes and implements german lane marking standards. The Lebanese contractors implement what they do in Lebanon and so on and so forth. So in a single state you can have standards from over 20 different countries based on which contractor did the road construction. And that is for roads that even have any lane markings at all.If there is enough govt support, we need to fix this statement. I know how. But I'd want to get paid to talk about it. 2 Likes |
