Driving in Lagos can be frustrating if you are not informed ahead of time about the likely challenges that you may face in the course of commuting.
Here are a few things you need to do to avoid spending precious time in traffic:
Plan your day: Don’t step out of your house or office without a plan. You need to know where you need to go and when you need to arrive there, as this would help you determine the best route and alternative routes to your destination.
Leave early: This may be the single most important step you take to avoid traffic congestion on the busy streets of Lasgidi. This gives you a buffer for whatever eventualities may come up.
Try alternative routes: It pays to know and master all the alternative routes in and out of wherever you are going to.
Don’t rubberneck: Lagosians can look! When there’s an accident or a breakdown on the side of the road, stopping (or slowing down) to take a look is the worst thing you can do.
Check traffic reports before you leave: Traffic updates are available on Traffic Lite; an android app that helps you get accurate and reliable traffic status on roads and routes you use often.
