Corps Marshal of the Federal Road Safety Corps, Boboye Oyeyemi on Thursday during an assessment tour of the ongoing construction on the expressway, asked contractors to close the U-turns on the Lagos-Ibadan expressway.
He also said that religious organisations along the expressway should submit their programmes from now till December to enable the contractors plan ways to ease vehicular movements and avoid unnecessary traffic congestion.
The FRSC boss said gridlock on the expressway was due to the impatience of drivers who drive against the traffic. He asked the construction companies working on the road to reduce the U-turns on the expressway to just two.
Oyeyemi said: “Drivers need to re-plan their journeys. If you have been spending one hour, you should plan for an extra-hour. That is why we have directed that they should reduce the U-turns to two. From Lagos to Sagamu, the U-turns should not be more than two so that people will not be driving against the traffic. From Sagamu to Ibadan, the construction is going on well, so I don’t think we have any problem with that.”
