Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:00 AM) or late mornings (after 10:00 AM) are best to avoid peak rush hour traffic. Avoid traveling between 4:00 PM and 8:00 PM when traffic is heaviest, and definitely avoid late-night travel on the Badagry Expressway for safety reasons.
Safety Rating
Medium. The route involves major highways that can be prone to traffic and opportunistic crime, especially at night. The Badagry Expressway axis is known for 'one-chance' incidents, particularly during late hours. It's best to travel during the day and use reputable public transport.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT buses are available for parts of this route, specifically from CMS/TBS to Mile 2 and then from Mile 2 towards Okokomaiko/Iyana Iba. There is currently no direct or practical rail option for this specific route.
Due to Ajah flyover layouts, returning U-turns are best performed at designated roundabouts rather than illegal bypasses to avoid traffic penalties.
