The Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) has assured the public of adequate traffic management and control during the upcoming Christmas and New Year celebrations.

This is in addition to the ongoing construction works in various parts of the State and the regular uptick in social activities during Yuletide season with a corresponding increase in vehicular traffic.

The agency’s Public Relations Officer, ADEBAYO TAOFIQ disclosed this in a statement made available to newsmen.

TAOFIQ said that the Kick Against Indiscipline (KAI) agency is one of the government agencies with which the agency is working in response to ensure free traffic flow around markets.

He added that this collaboration aims to prevent illegal traders’ activities from impeding travel times leading up to, during, and following the celebration.

Along with routine and consistent patrols, LASTMA police would be equally noticeable at all important road intersections, particularly around well-known traffic flashpoints.

He noted that to prevent traffic accidents, every motorist must obey traffic regulations, drive within the prescribed speed limit, avoid reckless driving, and carry out regular maintenance works on their vehicle before putting them on the road.
