FG announces ban on motorcycles, tricycles along Lagos-Calabar coastal highway
The Federal Ministry of Works has announced that commercial motorcycles and tricycles will no longer be allowed to operate along the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway.
The Federal Controller of Works in Lagos State, Olufemi Dare, made the announcement on Sunday, saying the restriction will take effect this week.
Dare explained that the measure was introduced to protect the newly completed superhighway from misuse and prevent early deterioration.
He said the ban is aimed at preserving the road’s structural integrity and ensuring it remains in good condition for long-term use.
He also warned that indiscriminate parking of trucks and articulated vehicles would no longer be tolerated on the coastal highway and bridges across Lagos State.
The ministry further prohibited the indiscriminate dumping of refuse along highway corridors, describing the practice as unacceptable and harmful to public infrastructure.
Dare cautioned that violators of the directives would face strict enforcement actions as authorities intensify efforts to maintain order and proper use of the facility.
He disclosed that warning signages highlighting the restrictions had already been erected along the highway, while task force officials would be stationed at strategic points to ensure compliance.
Describing the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway as a world-class infrastructure project, the Federal Controller stressed the need for proper maintenance and protection of the road network.
He urged motorists and other road users to comply fully with the new regulations in the interest of public safety and infrastructure preservation.
According to him, protecting the facility would extend its lifespan and ensure that Nigerians continue to derive maximum value from the project.
