The Federal Ministry of Works has announced a ban on commercial motorcycles and tricycles on the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway.
The restriction, which takes effect this week, was announced in a statement on Sunday by the Federal Controller of Works in Lagos, Mr Olufemi Dare.
Dare said the decision was introduced to protect the newly constructed superhighway from misuse and deterioration.
He explained that the measures were necessary to preserve the road and ensure its long-term sustainability.
The Federal Controller also warned that indiscriminate parking of trucks and articulated vehicles would no longer be allowed.
According to him, the restriction applies to the coastal highway and all bridges across Lagos State.
The ministry further prohibits the indiscriminate disposal of refuse along highway corridors, describing the practice as unacceptable.
Dare warned that offenders would face strict enforcement measures as authorities move to maintain order.
He disclosed that signage indicating the restrictions had already been installed along the highway.
Dare added that task force officials would be deployed to strategic locations to ensure compliance.
He described the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway as a “world-class infrastructure” requiring proper maintenance and protection.
The official urged all road users to comply with the directives in the interest of public safety.
He stressed that preserving the facility would enhance its lifespan and maintain its value to Nigerians.
