All Is Now Set For First Lagos Horn-Free Day (Details)

All is now set for the first horn-free day in Lagos,,as the Lagos State Government is deploying 1,000 officers of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority, LASTMA, and the Vehicles Inspection Service, VIS, to monitor compliance of motorists during the exercise.

On Wednesday, which is the horn-free day, all motorists plying routes in Lagos State are not expected to horn while driving their vehicles throughout the day.

In the last two months, sensitisation has been ongoing to inform motorists about the need to observe the horn-free day in a bid to reduce noise pollution in the state.

Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola explained the idea behind his administration’s initiative, “Horn Free Day” coming up on October 15, 2014, describing it as a step towards sensitizing residents to the harmful effects of noise pollution.
