Federal Road Safety Command, Ogun State Sector Command, has advised motorists to exercise patience and desist from driving against flow of traffic especially on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.

The Sector Commander, Mr Oludare Ogunjobi, gave the advice in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria on Tuesday in Ota, Ogun.

Ogunjobi said that flooding of the expressway by heavy rainfall on Tuesday caused some motorists to drive against traffic, resulting in gridlock.

“The FRSC is appealing to motorists to be patient, reduce speed and avoid driving against the flow of traffic,” he said.

Ogunjobi said that impatience and flouting of traffic rules would compound traffic situations.

He said that FRSC officers and other traffic managers were on ground to control traffic  on the expressway and restore normalcy.

NAN reports that heavy rain on Wednesday caused many motorists to spend hours  on the expressway.
