The vehicles were impounded during an early-morning enforcement operation, following repeated warnings and public awareness campaigns by LASTMA.
The Lagos State Traffic Management Authority says it has impounded 27 commercial and private vehicles across Lagos for violating loading regulations and road safety standards.
The agency made this known in a statement on Thursday issued by the Director of Public Affairs and Enlightenment Department of LASTMA, Adebayo Taofiq, and posted on its official X handle.
CBI News notes that according to LASTMA, “the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority has commenced a far-reaching statewide enforcement initiative aimed at curbing the pervasive and hazardous practice of vehicular overloading, as part of its sustained commitment to enhancing road safety and enforcing uncompromising compliance with extant traffic regulations across Lagos State.”
LASTMA revealed that field assessments uncovered widespread unsafe practices by motorists, especially commercial vehicle operators.
