The Ministry of Public Works announced by way of a Public Traffic Advisory that starting October 30, the intersection at Vlissengen Road and Lamaha Street will prohibit right turns. This is in a bid to improve traffic flow and reduce accidents.
According to the ministry’s statement, the new traffic regulation aims to optimize the busy intersection known for its congestion, particularly during morning rush hours. To assist drivers in adjusting to the change, new traffic signs have been installed to guide motorists and pedestrians through the area safely.
This decision immediately sparked significant backlash from the public, with many voicing their concerns about the potential impact on daily commutes and emergency services. When contacted by this newspaper as regards citizens’ concerns, Minister of Public Works Juan Edghill preferred not to comment.
