Waking up to traffic each morning can be really frustrating, whether you drive the latest car or you use the public transport, traffic during the festive season is a no go area
Leave your house early: Leaving home early means just that. It means leaving as early as 4.30am. Map out alternative routes: Avoid using major routes! Fact is traffic will most likely to be on major roads that leads to industrial and commercial areas.
Leave office before closing hour: Returning from work presents the worst traffic in Lagos. At this time, motorists are eager to get home as soon as possible. Your best if you want to avoid traffic that stretches the entire length of the expressway is to leave before your closing time or at your closing time
Try alternative routes: It pays to know and master all the alternative routes in and out of wherever you are going to.
Don’t rubberneck: People can look! When there’s an accident or a breakdown on the side of the road, stopping (or slowing down) to take a look is the worst thing you can do.
Use Public the Public Transport System: No doubt the public transport system is chaotic but it provides a relief from the stress of everyday traffic.
Follow traffic reports: Before leaving home or while in your car, make sure you stay updated with the traffic report on TV, radio, social media.
