Lagos State Govt impounds 28 vehicles at Berger Bus Stop for illegal parking 

This move was part of a broader traffic enforcement effort by the Ministry of Transportation and the State’s task force to improve traffic flow and public order. The update was shared on the Ministry’s official X (formerly Twitter) account on Saturday.

In a statement posted on the Lagos Ministry of Transportation’s X account on Saturday, Commissioner for Transportation, Seun Osiyemi, explained that illegal parking had caused major traffic disruptions, and the impoundments were necessary to restore smooth traffic flow and ease commuter movement.

“The Lagos State Commissioner for Transportation Seun Osiyemi who hinted at this stated that 28 vehicles were impounded at the Berger bus stop along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway (outbound Lagos) for illegally converting designated layby into a makeshift garage during the recent operation carried out to improve the traffic flow within the metropolis,” the statement read in part. 

The statement further noted that Osiyemi reiterated the government’s commitment to upholding traffic regulations and ensuring that Lagos roads remain orderly and free from congestion.

He assured the public that similar enforcement drives would be conducted routinely across the state to prevent further illegal activities and maintain an efficient road network for all road users.

In recent months, the Lagos State Government has ramped up enforcement drives across the state to ensure strict adherence to traffic rules and regulations, particularly among motorists.

Additional violations include smoking, drinking, or eating while driving, failure to yield to pedestrians at zebra crossings, illegal parking, and the operation of trailers, tankers, or tippers without proper lighting or unsecured containers.
