Lagos traffic boss Olawale Musa wants you to know those new speed cameras around town aim to keep you safe, not take your money. He said this loud and clear on the radio yesterday. The cameras help catch drivers who speed and cause crashes where people die.
He asked drivers to stay under speed limits because it saves lives, not because the state needs cash. People often push back against rules like these, but Musa says they'll keep working to make sure everyone follows them. More cameras will soon pop up across Lagos to monitor more roads.
The cameras went through three months of testing before they started giving out tickets. If you think you got a ticket by mistake, Musa says you can fight it. They set up a way for drivers to argue their case if needed.
Drivers near Alapere and on Third Mainland Bridge need to keep speeds under 60 km/h. Musa also warned that buses can't stop anywhere they want on highways. They must pick up people at real bus stops only.
Some road signs have gone missing because thieves took them or vandals broke them. The state might start painting speed limits right on the road surface to fix this problem. This helps drivers see the rules more clearly.
Musa shot down rumors about money-grabbing schemes. The whole system runs on a computer, with no humans involved who might ask for bribes. Even government cars must follow the rules—about 300 state vehicles have already paid fines for breaking traffic laws.
He stressed that safety comes first, not making money. The laws apply to everyone on the road. Government drivers pay for their tickets with their money, not with public funds. Musa asked everyone to work together to make Lagos's streets safer for all.
