Motorcycle carts, remorque style tuk tuks, home built trucks and van conversions should all be banned from the road

Yes, agree in theory.
But this is what happened recently when the "motodops", known as "okadas"in Lagos, Nigeria, got taken off the road - massive unemployment for mostly unemployable people and lack of cheap transport for the poor.
This was also announced as a measure to reduce crime (bag-snatching robberies) in Lagos, but large numbers of men out of work is not going to fix the crime rate. It might help with the number of traffic accidents though, with statistics saying that the "okadas" were causing a large number of Lagos traffic accidents.

There are still a few around the central district. One thing I would like to see enforced is lights on vehicles at night, it's amazing how many idiots pile around without lights on dark streets. Some are shitboxes that don't have operational lights but many are morons trying to save a few cents on gas.

Traffic code needs amending for that; it's perfectly within the law to drive without a headlight at night where there is "adequate street lighting"

Dark window tint on front windows is against traffic code, but nobody really cares to enforce it very much
