Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:30 AM) and late evenings (after 8:00 PM) are best to avoid the worst of the traffic. Mid-day (11:00 AM - 2:00 PM) can also be less congested. Avoid 7:00 AM - 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM - 7:30 PM if possible.
Safety Rating
Medium. The route is generally busy and well-traveled during the day, making it relatively safe. However, general Lagos safety precautions apply. Be aware of your surroundings, especially when traveling late in the evening or at night. 'One-chance' incidents, where a vehicle's occupants rob passengers, can occur in any part of Lagos; always use vehicles from designated parks or busy bus stops.
