Vehicle parks: Lagos to begin additional lane markings Monday

The Lagos State Parking Authority (LASPA) says it plans to create additional Vehicle Parking Lane Markings in selected locations across the state.

The effort, it stated, was geared towards improving the parking system of the state.

A statement by the Public Affairs Officer at LASPA, Abayomi Ariba, quoted the General Manager of the agency, Mrs Adebisi Adelabu, as saying this.

She said the vehicle park lane marking would commence on Monday, November 28, 2022.

She said the designated streets within Surulere, Ikoyi, Lekki, Obalende, Ikeja and Victoria Island axis of the State would experience this development as the Authority was set to improve street parking from 2023.

Adelabu noted that the Parking Lane Markings would further guide motorists and pedestrians on appropriate parking regulations and spaces, minimise indiscriminate parking, confusion and uncertainty while conveying a range of information to residents on parking procedures within each specified environment.

According to her, the lane markings will also include special consideration for people living with disabilities and signposts for parking directives, among other features.

The general manager solicited the understanding of residents within the locations that might be affected by the inconvenience the process might cause. She assured the residents that the government was working rigorously in regulating and improving the parking culture as part of its traffic management and transportation agenda to make parking convenient, safe and secure across the state.

The Authority recently unveiled plans to begin full implementation of parking policy in the second quarter of 2023.
