KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!!!
just signing in from Nigeria to this POB talk A.K.A chat room. Its 3:00pm Nigeria time and the temperature over here is 26 degrees here in Lagos, Nigeria.
it have been raining since morning 12 noon till Now and there is no sign for the rain to stop, which gives me great concern because the streets will be flooded and it will be difficult for anybody to go home because getting transportation won't be so easy.
Nigeria have a bad road construction and we do not have good drainage system build for floods to pass which is also one of the factors we face here and its adds to traffic gam in the country, which is of high rate when rain falls.
QUESTIONS;
What do your country do to avoid traffic and maintain good transportation for the country?
Yes oo this weekend I think is met rain, my dear there is nothing we can do about it.
because government are not really to repair the bad road, is God that can touch the heart of his people to do that.
And for the traffic you just have to bear it, that how it when ever it rain.
This is the rainy season so one should expect frequent rainfa
Yes it we just have to bear it, because if the rain did not fall now, we will be complaining that the weather is hot.
It’s no rain here. It just rained for a day and has been dry and humid since then.
I use public transport a lot. Anyways the fuel prices are too high here so public transfers are the best.
I think that good drainage system and good road network can help to reduce flood
But there are some natural flood that happens..
Infact have beging to think if we came from the same country because that was the way the rain as being since and their is no any signal if the rain stopping.
anyway Nigeria does not have any good way if controlling the traffic especially when the rain started everywhere will be flooded and this will contribute to a lot of destruction and damages of some important things
I believe the best way to control traffic is to create wider roads doing this will help a lot in controlling traffic especially in my country Nigeria
Quite a day it was over at my end too. The rain was not friendly has it rained for close to six hours resulting into floodings and serious traffic congestion on the roads.
If I had a car I don't think season will be a great time to get them on the roads has the traffic I witnessed yesterday was hell. It led me and a friend to walking about 19 kilometers i.e 6.2 miles to get finally get a place which was void of gridlock to eventually get access to go home.
Not a good experience when there's also a bad road system and poor system of reducing this flood. I often wonder if other countries within what we go on over here. Hope we didn't take the boat or swim home? :-)
As concerning your question, over here I believe the government is blind as they are doing nothing about the current road conditions. I believe increasing the drainage system and making the roads plyable by working on the roads will help. Exploring the water means of transportation by employing more ferries might help beat the congestion experience in the country.
