FRSC Orders Closure of U-Turns on Lagos/Ibadan Expressway
The Chief Executive Officer of the Federal Road Safety Corps, Boboye Oyeyemi, has asked the contractors on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway to close the U-turns on the road.
He added that religious organisations along the expressway should submit their programmes till December to enable the contractors to plan ways to ease vehicular movements.
The FRSC boss spoke on Thursday during an assessment tour of the ongoing construction works on the expressway.
Oyeyemi said gridlock on the expressway was due to the impatience of drivers who drive against the traffic.
He asked the construction companies to reduce the U-turns on the expressway to two.
“Drivers need to re-plan their journeys. If you have been spending one hour, you should plan for an extra-hour. That is why we have directed that they should reduce the U-turns to two. From Lagos to Sagamu, the U-turns should not be more than two so that people will not be driving against the traffic. From Sagamu to Ibadan, the construction is going on well, so I don’t think we have any problem with that,” he added.
