LASG to install 3,000 e-police and speed limit cameras to enforce traffic regulations 

The Director of the Lagos State Vehicle Inspection Service (VIS), Engr. Akin-George Fashola disclosed this on Tuesday while speaking on Lagos Transport Trends and Perspectives, a program sponsored by the State’s Ministry of Transportation on Traffic Radio 96.1 FM.

Engr. Fashola noted that speed limit cameras have already been installed at various locations, including Alapere-Ogudu Road (80km/h inbound Alausa and 60km/h inbound Iyana Oworo) and Mobolaji Bank Anthony Way (60km/h).

He further stated that e-police cameras are currently in place at Allen Junction and Nurudeen Olowopopo Road in Ikeja to check red light running and other traffic violations,  urging motorists to take note of warning signs installed at these locations to ensure compliance.

Highlighting recent developments within the VIS, he revealed that the government has introduced an online roadworthiness recertification system for pre-existing vehicle owners, saying the new initiative allows vehicle owners to renew their roadworthiness certificates online without visiting a VIS office.

Engr. Fashola encouraged Lagos residents to visit the VIS website or any of the 45 VIS centers across the state for reliable information and assistance.

Last month, the State Government announced a partnership with Chinese tech company, Huawei Technologies, to deploy four new Intelligent Transport System (ITS) sites across key locations in the state, aimed at improving traffic management and road safety.

The initiative includes the establishment of a modern Traffic Control Centre (TCC) and the implementation of Area Traffic Control (ATC) with interconnected signals and dynamic cycle times.
