SAFETY ENGINEERING & ROAD IMPROVEMENT
Between 2009 and 2011, Arrive Alive Road Safety Initiative (AARSI) successfully identified and corrected four school zone Hot-Spots (Accident prone zones), by installing road furniture including vertical signs, within the Lagos metropolis:
- Osborne Road Bend in Ikoyi
- Ogudu Junction, along Oworoshoki/Toll Gate expressway
- Anthony Link Road and
- Keffi Street in Ikoyi.
Two schools are located around Anthony link road and five around Keffi. At peak periods, over 3000 school children cross the roads at the two locations and an average of 3 accidents a month and 3 a week involving the children, were recorded at Anthony and Keffi respectively.
Our recent study showed that AARSI’s intervention at the hot spots have had positive impact on the lives of people who live/work around the spots, as no crash has been recorded since the corrections.
