The Federal Ministry of Works has banned commercial motorcycles and tricycles from operating on the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway.
This takes effect this week and was announced in statement on Sunday, signed by the Federal Controller of Works in Lagos State, Mr Olufemi Dare.
Dare said the decision was introduced to protect the newly constructed superhighway from misuse and deterioration.
He explained that the measures were necessary to preserve the road and ensure its long-term sustainability.
The Federal Controller also warned that indiscriminate parking of trucks and articulated vehicles would no longer be allowed.
According to him, the restriction applies to the coastal highway and all bridges across Lagos State.
The ministry further prohibits the indiscriminate disposal of refuse along highway corridors, describing the practice as unacceptable.
