Best Time to Travel
For interstate travel, it's best to depart Lagos early in the morning (between 6:00 AM and 8:00 AM) to avoid Lagos peak traffic and arrive at your destination before nightfall. Avoid traveling on this route at night due to increased security risks and reduced visibility.
Safety Rating
Medium. The route involves long stretches of highway. While major highways are generally safer, isolated incidents can occur. The Benin-Sagamu Expressway has historically had security concerns, especially at night. Exercise caution, especially when traveling after dark. 'One-chance' incidents are rare on interstate buses but can be a concern with local Lagos public transport.
