And due to this overpopulation the road is always busy causing traffic jam.
Many people leave their houses around 4am in the morning so as to beat the traffic jam on th road while they are to resume to work by 8am in the morning.
Some people while coming home eat their dinner on the way home due to traffic jam.
Lagos have not make use of other means of transportation like the railway and water transportation to full potential.

Lagos is known to be full of water we have the lagoon and other water bodies which can be used as means of transportation.
I believe if Lagos can make use of other means of transportation to full potential apart from the road transportation the traffic jam will reduce on the road. The road will be free, people will be able to move freely and get to where they are going on time.
