The Federal Ministry of Works has announced “a ban on commercial motorcycles and tricycles on the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway.”
The restriction, which takes effect this week, was announced in a statement on Sunday by the Federal Controller of Works in Lagos State, Mr Olufemi Dare.
Dare said the decision was introduced “to protect the newly constructed superhighway from misuse and deterioration.”
He explained that the measures were necessary to preserve the road and ensure its long-term sustainability.
The Federal Controller also warned that indiscriminate parking of trucks and articulated vehicles would no longer be permitted.
According to him, “the restriction applies to the coastal highway and all bridges across Lagos State.”
The ministry also prohibited the “indiscriminate disposal of refuse along highway corridors,” describing the practice as unacceptable.
