The Lagos State Traffic Management Authority, LASTMA, in its scorecard for 2025, indicated that Authority rescued over 1,075 injured accident victims during coordinated emergency interventions undertaken throughout the 2025 operational year.

The Authority revealed that these rescue operations were conducted across critical traffic corridors through rapid incident response frameworks, robust inter-agency synergy and the strategic deployment of personnel to high-risk flashpoints, thereby, ensuring that victims of road mishaps received prompt and lifesaving assistance.

Operational statistics further indicate that in its intensified enforcement drive, LASTMA impounded 5,581 private vehicles for diverse traffic infractions; 10,825 commercial vehicles were similarly apprehended for violations ranging from reckless driving and overloading to obstruction, mechanical deficiencies and flagrant disregard for extant traffic regulations.

The Authority confirmed the apprehension of 760 vehicles for one-way violations, an infraction consistently identified as a major precipitating factor in catastrophic collisions and avoidable fatalities on Lagos roadways.

The Authority reiterated that enforcement alone cannot deliver enduring safety outcomes without the active cooperation of motorists, transport unions, fleet operators and the wider public. Consequently, LASTMA continues to amplify advocacy initiatives, stakeholder engagement platforms and targeted sensitisation campaigns aimed at promoting voluntary compliance.
