"We don't have enough road signs on our roads"

A leader of Petroleum Tankers Association, Mobil Road, Apapa, Mr. Dandan Ikusalami, is calling for road signs.

All Africa reports that

"We don't have enough road signs on our roads. We need more traffic signs. How do you impound a vehicle of a person driving against traffic without road sign?

Let the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) officials enlighten those who are collecting driver's license on how to use the road signs. It will bring sanity on our roads. It is called the highway code.

The members of our association don't take one way. Those driving trucks don't take one way. Tankers are always parked near a depot or where they want to carry load."

Ikusalami attributed the traffic to small vehicle drivers, who are always in a hurry, saying, "the should help to bring sanity on our roads."

He was supported by the Secretary of Lagos State Taxi Drivers and Cab Operators Association, Oshodi Taxi Park II, Mr. Mumini Bilawu, who stressed the need for these road signs.

"It will serve as a guide for the drivers. Some motorists are coming to Lagos for the first time, without the road signs they can drive against traffic. Road signs will help motorists to stop at designated bus stops. It will also help them to know the right lane to take.

For instance, if you are going to Fatai Atere Way from Oshodi, you keep to the right. All the road signs ought to be there for easy driving.

Taxi drivers understand the signs. It was part of our training. Once they can put the signs at strategic places there will be no problem."
