Officials of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) have impounded 19 vehicles in the Apongbon area of the state for flouting traffic regulations.

General Manager, LASTMA, Bolaji Oreagba, said a study revealed that perennial traffic gridlock being experienced in that area is caused by drivers who do not want to comply with the state traffic laws and regulations.

He said that ongoing enforcement exercise which is expected to cover major identified spots was being coordinated by the Core Operations Commands (COC) from LASTMA Headquarters at Oshodi.

“I must implore law-abiding citizens of Lagos State, especially motorists, to adhere strictly to the traffic law of the state in order not to run foul of the law which has consequences. We must all have a positive attitude towards obeying the law of the State which was made to ensure orderliness and fast-paced socio-economic improvement of individuals, corporate entities and generality of the people,” he said.
