The Full Story

The sum of $78 million has been made available to the Ministry of Housing, Transport, Water and Works to enhance its Traffic Management and Control Programme.
As contained in the 2007/08 Estimates of Expenditure, now before the House of Representatives, the allocation will be used to undertake routine maintenance, rehabilitation and installation of traffic signals and road markings island-wide, as well as provide for the planning and implementation of measures to improve traffic flow in urban areas.
