For motorists tired of traffic jams and long delays while travelling in the city, relief may soon be in sight.
The Public Works Ministry has begun conducting studies geared at improving the flow of vehicular traffic in Georgetown, to reduce congestion and ensure the best possible traffic flow at key intersections.
This is according to Chief Transport Planning Officer Patrick Thompson, who revealed that a citywide study is planned this year following a 2013 analysis of the traffic movements at the Camp and Regent streets intersection, which has received a failing grade for the level of service it offers to motorists.
Thompson, who ob-served that the traffic dynamic in Georgetown has changed since the 2007 traffic light system upgrade, told Stabroek News in a recent interview that while the study started at the Camp and Regent streets junction, there will be a city wide study in a phased out approach during this year. He explained that the ministry’s idea is to start its study with key junctions, such as Vlissingen Road and Regent Street, Vlissingen Road and Sandy Babb Street,
