FAQ
The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) sets speed limits: 100 km/h on highways (62 mph), 50 km/h in urban areas (31 mph), 25 km/h in school zones. Articulated trucks are limited to 80 km/h. Exceeding limits by 30+ km/h constitutes reckless driving under the FRSC regulations. Speed limit enforcement uses speed guns and fixed cameras on major routes.
A knot (kn) is a nautical mile per hour = 1.852 km/h. It's used internationally in aviation and maritime navigation because it relates directly to geographic coordinates — one nautical mile equals one minute of arc of latitude. Nigerian ports (Lagos, Apapa, Tin Can Island) and the Nigerian Maritime Administration use knots for vessel speeds.
The trip is approximately 800 km. Legal highway speed is 100 km/h, putting minimum travel time at 8 hours. In practice, the journey takes 9–12 hours due to traffic in Lagos, road conditions, checkpoints, fuel stops, and construction. Average actual speed is often 70–80 km/h over the full journey. Night driving is not recommended due to safety risks.
