Broken Traffic Lights and Wrong-Way Driving Raise Questions About Abuja’s Road Management

Abuja motorists are increasingly facing malfunctioning traffic lights, chaotic junctions and cases of wrong-way driving on major corridors, including Airport Road. These problems create confusion and raise safety concerns for drivers, pedestrians and commuters. The concern is not only traffic congestion. It is the apparent gap in visible enforcement, timely repairs and coordination among the agencies responsible for traffic control, road safety and public order in the Federal Capital Territory. A planned capital city needs functioning signals, clear road signs and officers who can respond quickly when junctions become unsafe. Residents also have a duty to obey traffic rules, but authorities must ensure that traffic systems are reliable and violations are promptly addressed.
