Traffic is not only about roads and signals. The choices each of us make behind the wheel shape how the whole city moves.
Keep to your lane and avoid blocking junctions. Pulling into a junction you cannot clear is one of the biggest causes of gridlock in Lagos.
Give way at crossings and let merging traffic in. A little patience keeps everyone moving and prevents the stop-start crawl that wastes fuel and tempers.
Plan ahead. Check advisories before you set out, leave a little earlier during peak hours, and choose an alternate route when a corridor is busy.
Report hazards early. An obstruction or breakdown flagged quickly can be cleared before it turns a busy road into a standstill.
