Comply with the law or be ready to face the music – LASTMA

The Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) urged motorists to voluntarily comply with the relevant traffic laws operating in the state, vowing to deal decisively with violators in accordance with the law.

LASTMA’s General Manager, Mr Olawale Musa, who stated this after meeting with the zonal heads and commanders at the agency’s headquarters in Oshodi, said the agency was appalled with recent action of some motorists who had formed the habit of flouting traffic laws and disregarding directives of traffic personnel on the roads.

The agency, he disclosed, had also commenced imposing strict sanctions on recalcitrant drivers especially in Ojodu, Berger and other parts of the state who have converted the newly constructed lay-bys into motor parks.

According to him, such road indiscipline and lawlessness were capable of returning chaos and disorderliness to the roads, warning that LASTMA would not condone it and any motorist caught would be dealt with accordingly.
