For the second day running, it has been Armageddon on the Apapa-Oshodi expressway between Iyana Isolo and Toyota Bus Stop.
It is ‘easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle’ than for a motorist to wade through the one-lane access route at Toyota bus stop en-route Oshodi, where six or more lanes forcibly merge into the service lane, causing traffic gridlocks.
While the suffering continues, it is taking exasperated road users persistence, sheer grit and ruggedness to survive hours in traffic for a journey that shouldn’t take five minutes to pass through.
Stranded motorists are further incensed by the absence of Lagos State Traffic Management Agency (LASTMA) officials, which is compounding the suffering faced daily by thousands of Lagos residents on one of the busiest highways in the nation’s commercial capital city. (Guardian)
