Traffic flow is impeded when people cross highways where pedestrian bridges are located, thereby giving traffic managers extra work to do. One begins to wonder why crossing pedestrians find it difficult to make use of the foot bridges built across Lagos. Why will commuters rather prefer crossing busy highways to using the pedestrian bridges? Enforcing the use of pedestrian bridges by commuters will be one good way to prevent or reduce road fatalities. Pedestrian bridges should also not be constructed too high to cater for the acrophobic folks.
