50-60km/hr on an expressway. Why is it called expressway then?

santaclaws:
Speed limit on 3rd Mainland Bridge and every highway should be 100km/h at least, other roads can have 80km/h. I don't know if their plan is to frustrate car owners in Lagos, but if the APC government wants to make life hard for Lagosians, they'll see the result and it won't be funny!

When Lagos residents who are struggling to fuel their cars start getting naked for VIO officers, maybe Sanwo-Olu will have sense. 80km/h speed limit on 3rd mainland bridge and 50k fine? No wahala!

3MB is about 12km long. If you drive at 80km/hr, you will cover it in eight minutes. At 100km/hr, it would take seven minutes. So you see, the difference is not as much as it seems.

Cutezt:
There is a reason why I got my Plates from far away Plateau State when the I can do it at a trekable distance from me here in Lagos.


Secondly, Lagos plate was at least 100k
Plateau plate was 45k to wait for 1 week, and 50k for 24 hours.

Rates are less than 3 days old.

No better bargain for peace of mind.

BTW, 80km on 3MB needs to be adjusted, commercial busses are also exempted. What a country.

....Can you get other state plate while in Lagos or you have to travel down to get it? If you can get it in Lagos, how do you go about it?

Speed cameras before street light , non of the roads mentioned have working streetlight

GloriousGbola:


this is not true.

i am paying 30k for my plates

....Morning, when and where did you get your plate, and what state did you get?

I am from Jos, so I've got countless connects there, just few calls and it was delivered to me via GIG logistics here in Lagos.

santaclaws:


I know you don't drive, so please keep quiet, this is not for pedestrians.

When you have a car and you begin driving it, you'll understand better. You think you can maintained a snail speed of 60-70km on 3MB? Someone might just hit you from the back.

Don't worry, you won't understand.

You IQ is very low to think I (unknown person to you) don't drive or own a car.

GloriousGbola:

Where are you paying 30k at?

If everyone drives at snail speed, Lagos government will not be satisfied. They will devise another method to catch you

I've tried to maintain 80km on 3MB and it feels like the cars behind me will run me over. I think 100km on 3MB should be the speed limit while 80km should be the maximum on the other roads.

Lol

This people are not serious, 60km on International Airport road, hope they are aware that there is something called minimum speed limit around areas with security risk, so you expect vehicle to drive at that speed around the airport, so a criminal can maintain such speed in order to aim target with precision.
Also some highways with 4lanes like Oshodi Apapa expway, you want vehicle to drive at 50/60km, what speed will they maintain on the service lane of this highway?? 20km??
Another issue is, calibration of speeds differs, so there is always room for error, I saw a footage of a man fined for driving at 63km for a limit of 60km, there should be an allowance of +/-10points

Cutezt:


Where are you paying 30k at?

i was at VIO. last week. my plates are faded. they cannot be read by a camera. i was asked to get new plates. the guy i use said 30k, three weeks. paid on monday

waiting now

My point exactly.

Some pedestrians are busy quoting and analyzing what they don't understand.

Gboom:

You don't drive, it's really easy to spot that, dummy.

You're analyzing something you don't understand, is it everything you stick your mouth into?

When you begin driving, try maintaining 60-70km on 3MB, you'll wise up.

My brother I agree with you. But the truth is this... Where are you hurrying to

Lagos government can't come for no one. Their number plate is probably the most used in this country. Except if the want other states to reciprocate.

Ayo25:
Some of your are funny. You like to do the hard things instead of the simple ones.

You think govt don't know you will try to get around the rules by getting other states plate numbers. They are coming for you. Just wait

laluski:

You don't drive in Lagos... Don't disgrace yourself by talking on something you don't understand.

Sitting inside a bus is different from driving a car on 3MB and other highways. You don't know what it means to drive 60km on Lekki-Epe, if you did, you'd know how stupid the law is.

Nice development. All the vin diesel pipo on Lagos roads go mellow

Well, if you are mindful of the 50k fine, I'm sure you'll adjust.

Rest, soup man... 🍲

80km/hr is too small on third mainland bridge
The should put the limit 90kmHr to 110km/hr

Ikorodu should be 100 to 110 km/Hr

Epe expressway should be maximum 120km/hr

APapa Expressway should be maximum 110kmHr

Bank Anthony way should be maximum 90kmHr

Ojota bridge should be 90kmhr

You need to think deeply and widely about this. Dont forget the president is from Lagos. There is a possibility that there could be networking between Lagos and other states on this and for crimes you commit here in Lagos, you could be apprehended for it even in other states and regardless of the state vehicle plate numbers you are using.

To think one of the roads you have the camera is on 3rd mainland bridge which is suppose to be a federal road. Thats to tell you enforcement of violations might not be limited by which states numbersl plate you use.

Getting away with speed limit violations might not be as easy as you think. Only time will tell.

elasticlala:
Violating speed limit law in the US is $10 , Lagos wants to do now and it’s N50,000.
You ask yourself if the essences is actually the safety of the people or to exploit them… This would mostly result in further crimes cos whoever exceeds that limit and doesn’t have the money, would try to find an escape route and that invariably becomes even more dangerous.

how sure are with this information?

E be like say Car never kill any of your family members before? I don't understand this rubbish write up. Necessary measures must be put in place to curb traffic offences and accidents. My uncle was killed by a one way driver speeding. So anywhere dem dey deal with traffic offenders I must be there, God punish all of them.

Ayo25:
You haven't put up any fact to back this ypur claim up. Its just another mere statement to have a go at the government.

Lagos government dont need your money, you just comply with the regulations for you not to kill yourself and othe people and you dont have to pay any fine.

Cameras being deployed for enforcement of vehicle documentation have been working for over 7 years and I know of vehicle owners who have never paid any fine and that is because they are very meticulous with keeping their documents up to date.

If we want sanity on our roads, we all need to applaud this but of course we dont know when to stop bashing the government. Governmentcan never do any right thong in our eyes over here.

The LASG government and Ministry of Transportation in Lagos state don’t care about road users.

The main cause of traffic congestion on Lagos roads are Danfo buses.

95% or more of Danfo buses in Lagos have no lights, no brake lights, no mirrors or just one mirror, Smokey, rickety, not road worthy. Many of the drivers do not possess drivers licenses, no vehicle papers, yet these vehicles convey millions of people on a daily basis when compared to private vehicles.

What has the government done about addressing the excesses of these Danfo drivers that are reckless? One almost damaged my mirror this morning because of bad driving habits.

They do not obey traffic lights, nor traffic officers. They pose serious dangers to other road users. They drive against traffic at will and not even LASTMA officers can stop them, police also have little control over them, Road safety and VIO don’t even act like they notice them.

If LASG is truly serious about safety and value for human lives in Lagos and its roads, they must attend to the menace of Danfo drivers, Keke operators, Korope drivers and Okada riders. Until they address this menace, they’re only ripping off other road users to make money.

What you put up there, how is it related to the topic of speed limit violations and payment of fines by offenders.

You see this is just about government bashing and nothing more.
