The Ministry of Works has announced a ban on commercial motorcycles and tricycles on the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway and all bridges across Lagos State, officials said on Sunday.
The restriction, which takes effect this week, was announced in a statement by the Controller of Works in Lagos State, Olufemi Dare.
Dare said the decision was made to prevent the newly built superhighway from being abused and deteriorating.
He said the measures were to ensure the upkeep and long-term sustainability of the road.
The Controller also warned that indiscriminate parking of trucks and articulated vehicles would no longer be allowed.
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 will face strict enforcement measures as authorities move to maintain order.
Signages indicating the restrictions had already been installed along the highway, he disclosed, adding that the task force officials would be deployed to strategic locations to ensure compliance.
He called on all road users to follow the directives in the interest of public safety.
Dare noted that maintaining the facility would extend its lifespan and preserve its value to Nigerians.
