To ensure free flow of traffic in Oyo State, the government has approved a 250 capacity truck parking space in Ibadan, the state capital.
The park which sited at Sanyo in Ibadan would reduce the level of road carnage caused by indiscriminate parking of haulage trucks on highways in Ibadan metropolis.
The executive chairman, Oyo State Traffic Management Agency ( OYRTMA), Akin Fagbemi disclosed this when men and officers of the agency visited the popular Ibadan tollgate that was usually characterised by haphazard parking of heavy-duty trailers.
Governor Seyi Makinde’s approval, Fagbemi narrated, was in a bid to restore sanity and discourage disorderly parking by motorists at the tollgate and other corridors across the state.
Addressing petroleum tanker and heavy-duty vehicle operators at the tollgate, Fagbemi said: “Vigilance of everyone is safety for all; negligence of anyone is a danger for all. It is the quest of the governor to ensure safe highways for the people of Oyo State and its environs.”
