Popular business magazine, Forbes have named Lagos state as the third worst city for drivers, with 60 per cent congestion and 10.70mph average speed.
According to the report, Lagos, located in Nigeria's South Western part, was ranked third next to Karachi, Pakistan: 59 per cent congestion, 11.20mph average speed and Kolkata, with India topping the list.
The magazine's website states that the list was arrived at after considering the following: an analysis of local congestion levels, an average cost of parking and fuel, average roadway speeds, air pollution levels, number of traffic injuries, and road quality.
Also considered – and what should seem like a no-brainer to international travellers – is the frequency and perception of road rage. In the analysis of 100 international cities, Lagos is the only city in Africa that appeared on the list
