The exercise, which focused on illegal parks and garages, was carried out around Apongbon, inward and outward the Lagos Island area of the state.
According to the General Manager, LASTMA, Bolaji Oreagba, the agency was making efforts to ease the flow of traffic across the state in the ember months.
He said the ongoing total enforcement exercise which was expected to cover major identified spots, was being coordinated by the Core Operations Commands from LASTMA headquarters in Oshodi.
In a statement signed by the Director, Public Affairs Unit, LASTMA, Adebayo Taofiq, Oreagba implored law abiding citizens of the state, especially motorists, to adhere strictly to the traffic law in order not to run afoul of the law.
“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,” Oreagba said.
Oreagba urged drivers and general road users to be compliant with traffic laws in order to make the ‘Smart City’ vision achievable in the state.
