AMBODE WANTS TO SOLVE LAGOS TRAFFIC PROBLEM WITH THIS NEW TECHNOLOGY

Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode has set his sights on how to drastically reduce the traffic situation in the State. He wants to introduce a world class traffic information and management system that would help achieve that.

The globally tested traffic system which has worked for many cities similar to Lagos may have caught the eye of the Governor who wants to see Lagosians spend less hours in traffic and more in their offices and at work, according to the State government.

Investigations have revealed that in the next couple of weeks, the governor will work with some experts to design a system that fits the Lagos traffic pattern. There is an urgency to decongest perennial traffic spots like the Third Mainland Bridge, Abule Egba, Apapa, Ojota and Dopemu.

The State says it will introduce a world class traffic information and management system. A smart network comprising of hundreds of cameras, road sensors and electronic displays have been specially designed to collect and deliver real time information to city commuters that will help regulate traffic.

Highly visible displays and a mobile phone application will flag highly congested hotspots, suggest alternative routes and estimate arrival times  all in real time, according to the traffic management blueprint.

The State government says it realizes that information is power and is set to empower Lagosians with more traffic information ahead of time.
