Transforming Urban Mobility in Lagos

The Non-Motorized Pedestrian Walkway (NMPW) is a strategic Lagos urban mobility, public-realm regeneration, pedestrian safety, and Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) and Commercial Infrastructure initiative designed to transform under-utilised under-bridge spaces into safe, accessible, commercially viable and operationally managed pedestrian corridors integrated with Lagos rail and bus transport systems. NMPW is aligned with Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA) mobility integration objectives along the Red Line corridor.

What is the NMPW?

Safe Spaces. Better Mobility.

NMPW originated from the need to solve persistent urban, safety and mobility challenges around Lagos transport infrastructure corridors, especially beneath elevated bridges and rail infrastructure. The concept was developed to convert these negative urban voids into safe, controlled and productive public infrastructure assets.

How the NMPW Works

Connecting People, Places, and Transport

NMPW creates seamless pedestrian links between rail stations, bus terminals, and surrounding communities. Through improved walkways, lighting, security, accessibility features, environmental management, and supporting commuter services, NMPW delivers a safer and more efficient journey for everyone.

Rail Exit

Passengers leave the rail station and enter pedestrian infrastructure designed to enhance rail, BRT and bus interchange integration.

Walkway

Segregated pedestrian walkways improve pedestrian safety, improve first-mile/last-mile connectivity and reduce pedestrian conflict with vehicles.

Safe Passage

Lighting and wayfinding systems, CCTV and operational security systems, and accessibility features support safe transitions between transport modes.

Bus Terminal Arrival

The pedestrian connection supports onward movement to BRT and bus services, enhancing rail, BRT and bus interchange integration.
