The inexplicable continuity of traffic in Lagos State, especially Lekki Toll Gate, Ikoyi Link Bridge has raised questions amidst residence as to what is responsible for the traffic.
Prior to this time, Brand Spur Nigeria learnt that a large number of Lagosians had faulted Lekki Concession Company (LCC) to be responsible, claiming that the tolling had hindered fast mobility within the environment.
However, in recent times, there has been steady traffic on the Link Bridge Toll Plaza despite the fact that LCC is not collecting tolls.
In reactions to this, some residents said there seem to be some invisible forces that drag traffic along the route, while some others said things were improperly planned and positioned.
A Lagosian, Ikechukwu Clinton said, “Maybe LCC guys were the ones bringing about coordination and sanity on this bridge because the way things are going on there right now, it seems people won’t chill for each other normally.”
He added that the vacation of LCC has worsened movement because, “everybody wants to move at the same time, nobody to help manage the situation which means people get to stay in traffic longer than expected.”
Abiodun Opaniran questioned what could have been responsible for traffic. He added the cause should be identified in time.
He said, “I’m just thinking, why should we be experiencing serious traffic along Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge now? Why?”
“Each time I had to pass through Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge this year, I would always wonder what is causing traffic since LCC is not collecting tolls yet cars are not moving freely,” he added.
