In 2025, 17,169 automobiles were seized by the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority for a variety of traffic infractions.

Through its synchronised emergency actions, the agency was able to effectively rescue 1,075 accident victims throughout the same time period.

These rescue and enforcement actions were conducted throughout Lagos State's main thoroughfares. To guarantee that crash victims received timely aid, LASTMA strategically deployed workers to high-risk regions, coordinated across agencies, and used quick incident response frameworks.

The breakdown of impounded vehicles showed that 5,581 were private vehicles while 10,825 were commercial vehicles. The infractions leading to impoundment included reckless driving, overloading, mechanical deficiencies, and other violations of traffic regulations.

Additionally, 760 vehicles were ticketed for one-way violations. The agency listed driving against traffic as one of the major causes of road accidents in the state.

"These figures reflect a deliberate transition toward proactive traffic governance anchored on modern technology, intelligence-driven enforcement, and sustained public enlightenment," stated Olalekan Bakare-Oki, General Manager of LASTMA.

Bakare-Oki noted that many road crashes in Lagos were caused by excessive speed, technical breakdowns, driver weariness, impaired driving, and dangerous actions such as driving against traffic. He claimed that impounding vehicles forces compliance, removes risky vehicles from circulation, and reinforces obedience to traffic laws.

LASTMA also reported the arrest of 860 traffic offenders during the year. The agency maintained a strict position against any violations that endanger other road users.

The authority emphasised that enforcement measures alone cannot achieve lasting results without active cooperation. It called on motorists, transport unions, and fleet operators to support intensified advocacy and sensitisation campaigns aimed at promoting voluntary compliance.

LASTMA underlined its commitment to improving road safety by integrating technology-driven monitoring, intelligence-led deployment, ongoing officer training, and improved communication with emergency services.

"Road safety is a communal duty. Motorists must obey speed restrictions, keep their vehicles roadworthy, and follow traffic police' instructions," Bakare-Oki warned.

The agency promised Lagos residents that its continuing enforcement and emergency response actions would be uninterrupted. These initiatives are intended to further minimise traffic crashes and improve general safety throughout the state.
