Lagos State Government has resolved to commence prosecution of truck drivers culpable of floating the height restriction barriers (truck barriers) for articulated vehicles installed at Stadium, Ojuelegba and Dorman Long Bridges.
A statement by the Commissioner for Transportation, Oluwaseun Osiyemi said the barriers which were mounted to forestall incessant articulated vehicle accidents were often destroyed by some truck drivers to ensure their blatant disrespect of the law is sustained.
According to him, the Government has resolved to implementing the law with prosecution and stiff penalties, insisting that the unruly behavior of the truck drivers poses a severe threat to the safety of all road users and the general public hence it will no longer be tolerated.
The Commissioner also urged the general public to recognize the importance of these safety measures and report any suspicious activities to the Ministry of Transportation through.
