Herbert Macaulay Road is a prime road in Yaba, Lagos. It has a length of about 5.13 kilometers.

The road is gradually earning the status of Nigeria’s version of Silicon Valley. This is so because it is home to a growing number of tech companies.

Note that Herbert Macaulay Road, Yaba, was Facebook’s founder, Mark Zuckerberg, first port of call during his visit to Nigeria in August 2016.

Now that entire aside, Herbert Macaulay Road also has some very interesting landmarks.

For instance, the stretch of Herbert Macaulay road, starting from Adekunle Bus-stop to Jibowu, lies 8 very conspicuous pedestrian bridges. Arguably, this is the highest number of pedestrian bridges on a single road in Nigeria.

Interestingly, the 8 pedestrian bridges are relevant on that road only as landmarks. No one seem to be interested in putting them to the use that they were designed for.

Well, aside from the fact that Lagosians are legends for being in meaningless haste, the relatively narrow Herbert Macaulay roads, together with the light traffic on the road doesn’t exactly help matters.

Perhaps, the authorities should consider an alternative such as speed bumps, zebra crossing and mini-staircases over the elevated medians on the road.

Hopefully, if these are done, “Yabarians” would put them to use.

You will have a heart attack if you're told how much each bridge costs and it's all a waste

Hmmm. Anything is obtainable in Nigeria.

Autojosh don leave cars enter bridges

Yabatech and WAEC bus-stops, waste of bridges. All my years of plying that road, I never saw anybody use those bridges that are now rusting away. There are way more busier roads the bridges should have been constructed on.

okay..




Meanwhile guy's check out my profile for your extender products and other adult fantasy toys

OK

SEE MY SIG

Yaba/Harbert Macaulay Way = 5&6

Lol

Lagosians can do without the pedestrian bridges.

They have highest number of burial ground and mortuary too

nice one .. good researching. you mean u actually walked the whole 5km of the road to take these pics.. More bloggers should emulate this. enjoy accolades

bridge self dan plenty pass pedestrians

I wonder why some people applaud Ambode. That guy is a pure criminal. The fact that lagos state is now turning to what it used to be before fashola intervened is pure evidence. Lawma in lagos is dying a gradual death just because of Tinubus beaf with Fashola. All because fashola stood for progress againts God fatherism.

You're right.

ok

Pedestrian bridges that could cause human beings to fall onto oncoming vehicles, is that one a pedestrian bridge?

It is true though, we dont use.
We just cross

No strength to climb bridge abeg. When person never see three square meel

Looks like the pedestrian bridges were contracts given out to settle people that played instrumental roles in bringing in the government in power...

isoright

Seriously under utilized... The one in front of Saint Dominic's and the barracks... People only use it on Sundays...

Those pedestrian bridge have been there for too long.

Those roads are not the busy type but our orientations and dispositions about the use of these bridges be corrected.

Good observation. 100% right. Anything goes in Naija.

The way you de post about Lasgidi, them go soon give you appointment for LASG @Auto Joshua.

Most people dont use pedestrian bridges. Even in PH or Abuja, except where barricades are built close to the bridges.

Only in Nigeria we build bridges and construct roads without considering how impactful it will be on the populace.
Built bridge just in the name of beautification
built bridge just in the name of political interests
built bridge just in the name of financial pocketering (scam/corruption)
while several areas are begging for a mere culvert and drainage, yet they were neglect and turned deaf ear to.

Nigeria cant get there anymore, its not a curse

Nigerians are very stubborn people. They will rather be killed while crossing than use the pedestrian bridges.
