The Lagos State Government has revealed plans to create additional Vehicle Parking Lane Markings in selected locations across the state in a bid to ensure an improved street parking system.

The government also reiterated that all its efforts are geared towards improving the parking system among motorists in the state.

A statement by Mr Abayomi Ariba, Public Affairs Officer, Lagos State Parking Authority (LASPA) stated that Mrs Adebisi Adelabu, the General Manager, LASPA revealed the plans in the state over the weekend.

According to her, the Adelabu vehicle parking lane mark exercise would commence on Monday.

She emphasised that designated streets within Surulere, Ikoyi, Lekki, Obalende, Ikeja and Victoria Island axis of the state would experience this development, maintaining that the agency was set to improve the street parking system in the state from 2023.

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

She added that the lane markings would also include special consideration for people living with disabilities and signposts for parking directives, among other features.

She further solicited the understanding of residents within the locations who she said might be affected by any inconvenience the process may cause, assuring that the government was working rigorously in regulating and improving the parking culture as part of its Traffic Management and Transportation Agenda.

She reiterated the plans of the government to ensure convenience, safe and secure parking across the state.

LASPA recently unveiled plans to begin full implementation of the parking policy in the second quarter of 2023. (Daily Independent)
