Photos: Transport Ideas That Can Reduce Traffic/Accidents In Lagos.

Lagos, Nigeria’s port and commercial center, is notorious for its chronic traffic congestions and terrible accidents. Lagos is the only city of its size in the world that doesn’t have a city-wide rail system. That’s 15 to 21 million people (no one knows exactly how many) who are forced to commute by road only everyday. Exposing motorists, passengers/pedestrians to long hours of heat and inhalation of harmful vehicle emissions.

1. Amphibious buses/cars(Netherlands, China).

If the Government/Ministry of transport or private transport company can provide hundreds of these to move people in lagos to and fro where necessary.

(Not familiar with Lagos, but you guys will know exactly where necessary).

2. Modern city train system/service(London), overground not underground. Underground maybe too expensive/extreme for us.

3. Seperate truck lanes will reduce accidents, trucks/containers falling on cars.

4. Interchange/Highway.

Government should provide these in Lagos and traffic will drastically reduce.

*Dubai Interchange.

5. Bike sharing(Netherlands, London).

Will this work?

Imagine having thousands of bikes littering about a hundred bike stations across Lagos or VI. Instead of adding your car to the traffic, you can just stroll to the nearest bike station to your house, pick a bike, cycle to work and drop it off at the nearest bike station to your office. Like that again when you're going home .
