About the Non-Motorized Pedestrian Walkway (NMPW)

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 Overview

What is NMPW?

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.

What We Provide

What NMPW Provides

NMPW combines safe, accessible pedestrian infrastructure, public-realm regeneration and supporting commuter services to improve first- and last-mile movement along the LRMT Red Line corridor.

Segregated Pedestrian Walkways

Segregated pedestrian walkways improve pedestrian safety and reduce pedestrian conflict with vehicles.

CCTV & Operational Security Systems

CCTV and operational security systems preserve visibility and security where available.

Lighting & Wayfinding Systems

Lighting and wayfinding systems improve lighting, visibility and pedestrian movement.

Universal Accessibility

Inclusive routes are planned around barrier-free access and varied mobility needs.

Public Toilets & Sanitation Infrastructure

Public toilets, sanitation, drainage, cleaning and waste services enhance sanitation and environmental quality.

Commercial Retail & Wi-Fi/Data Infrastructure

Commercial retail kiosks and Wi-Fi/data infrastructure may support commuters without compromising mobility.

Facility Maintenance

Ongoing maintenance supports reliable, orderly pedestrian infrastructure.

Commuter Connectivity

NMPW Links improve movement between rail, bus and surrounding communities.

The Journey

How NMPW Works

A safer last-mile connection built around public transport.

  1. 01

    Rail Exit

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

  2. 02

    Walkway

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

  3. 03

    Safe Passage

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

  4. 04

    Bus Terminal Arrival

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