Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode is set to drastically change the face of the state traffic by introducing a world class traffic information and management system.
The globally tested traffic system which has worked for many cities similar to Lagos is set to have caught the eye of Governor Ambode who wants to see Lagosians spend less hours in traffic and more in their offices and at work.
It was reported that in the next few weeks, the governor will work with some experts to design a system that fits the Lagos traffic pattern. Today, Lagos is home to some of the worst traffic congestion in the world.

He further promised that Lagos state will introduce a world class traffic information and management system. A smart network comprising of hundreds of cameras, road sensors and electronic displays have been specially designed to collect and deliver real time information to city commuters that will help regulate traffic.
Highly visible displays and a mobile phone application will flag highly congested hotspots, suggesting alternative routes and estimate arrival times - all in real time.

By empowering Lagosians with more traffic information ahead of time, the state government are confident of reducing the time spent in traffic, drastically improving each commuter’s quality of life and improving the city’s productivity as a whole.In big cities of the world, traffic information systems have helped improve traffic flow to a large percentage.
Governor Ambode  has spent more time since he took over trying to solve traffic situation in the state especially the Apapa traffic conundrum.
