Operatives of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority, LASTMA, have impounded over 100 vehicles, including private and commercial vehicles, over illegal parking on top bridges across the state
The enforcement followed the expiration of a seven-day ‘Vacation Order’ issued on Monday, October 16, 2023, to motorists, particularly commercial bus drivers, to desist from operating and vacate bridges across the state.
The Special Adviser to the State Governor on Transportation, Sola Giwa, who led the enforcement operations, explained that the exercise aimed at totally removing every infraction impeding the free flow of traffic on bridges and enforcing the law against illegal parking.
Giwa maintained that the activities of those recalcitrant private owners and commercial bus drivers are contrary to the provisions of the Lagos State Transport Sector Reform Law, 2018.
He stated that those vehicles were impounded at areas such as the Ejalonibu, Obalende, Apongbon Ebute-Ero, and Idumota (Cater) bridges on Lagos Island.
