He explained that there had been increased collaboration among FRSC , the Police, Army and NSCDC to curb route violation, lane indiscipline and other traffic offences on the Lagos-Ibadan expressway.

” We are also proposing strategic activities to Ogun State government including regular drivers’ training in 2023 to foster compliance to traffic regulations and minimize crashes.

“Even though, the ongoing road re-construction work reduced the allowance for speed between Ibafo and Kara/OPIC, route violation especially by motorcycle riders has been a major cause of accidents along this stretch of the expressway,” he said.

Umar urged motorist to obey speed limits while also calling on motorcycles rider to refrain from using the expressway and comply with the 50km/hour speed limit along feeder roads.

“All motorists are urged to avoid the intake of drugs and alcohol before and while driving and rest for at least 30 minutes after every four hours of driving.
