The Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) has warned motorists to maintain speed limits while driving on the long stretch of the newly renovated Third Mainland Bridge linking Mainland and other parts of the state.

The General Manager of the Agency, OLALEKAN BAKARE OKI, gave this warning while addressing officers of the Agency whose purview falls within the Third Mainland Bridge operational areas.

According to OKI, the comprehensively repaired bridge is dazzling and attractive to drive on without any impediments as this may be too tempting and risky not to observe the speed limit thereby resulting in unfortunate consequences for motorists.

The LASTMA boss urged motorists to obey every traffic sign and other installed traffic-related electronic devices where necessary and keep to the approved speed limit.

He assured the motoring public that the Agency would deploy more men, patrol, and recovery vehicles to ensure the safety of motorists and timely rescue intervention on the bridge.

The General Manager however cautioned owners/drivers of vehicles to ensure that their vehicles are in good condition before playing the bridge as the Agency would frown at any avoidable obstacles capable of hindering vehicular movements on the flyover.
