Lagos just added 3,941 new parking spaces across town to help cut traffic jams. The state transport chief, Oluwaseun Osiyemi, shared this news during an event marking Governor Sanwo-Olu's second work anniversary. These parking spots make up a key part of Lagos' plan to fix traffic problems.
"The parking areas can hold thousands of cars safely, helping traffic move better," Osiyemi said. The city is split into five parking zones - Ikeja, Ikoyi, Lekki, Victoria Island, and Surulere - for easier management. The Lagos State Parking Authority watches over all parking activities throughout these areas. Workers put up 669 signs along main streets to point drivers toward proper parking spots.
Osiyemi asked people to use these new spaces and follow the parking rules. He stressed that the city wants to make travel easier for everyone living there. The parking project aims to stop random street parking that blocks roads and causes delays. Officials hope these changes will make daily life better for Lagos residents.
