The traffic lights at the junction of Sheriff Street and the Rupert Craig Highway have been temporarily disabled due to the ongoing works by the Guyana Power and Light (GPL) to relocate the utility poles.
The lights have not been functioning for more than two weeks and this has caused chaos at peak periods at the junction. Multiple drivers have complained about the difficulties encountered in crossing the highway.
Head of the Traffic and Highway Lights Department of the Ministry of Public Infrastructure, Terrence O’Brien said the lights are currently off because of the ongoing works by GPL.
