The traffic jam in Lagos is one of the many unpleasant things about the state.
There is usually nothing special about Lagos traffic. This is because most of the traffic jam is caused by drivers inability to obey simple traffic rules.
For example, most commercial bus drivers enjoy driving ‘one way’ against oncoming vehicles. Once there is a queue for any reason, they change lane and start driving against traffic.
Sometime private car owners join the unruly commercial bus drivers in the road madness.
Consequently, the queues are longer, the madness wilder, and the city more hectic. Sometimes, the situation can be so bad that you stay in a spot for up to an hour complete standstill.

The way around that for many people is to leave home as early as possible.
