Over the past few months there has been numerous road accidents and injuries to persons, and the problematic road junction has been of serious concerns to the public and MPSJ. Since the roads in that vicinity is still under the responsibility of IOI, it was natural that they were taken to account to improve the situation at the junction.
Last December, there were already some steps taken namely, the low bushes at the road island had been cut to enable better road vision, the speed breakers on both sides of the road had been thickened to reduce speeding vehicles, and no u-turn signs put up at the junctions.
This morning the discussions resulted in the following:
(1) Explore the possibility of making road 4 humps (2 on each side of the 2 roads right before the junctions).
(2) Setting up 24 hours yellow alert lights (blinking) at the road side at the 2 junctions.
(3) Exploring adding more street lights at both junctions to brighten up the roads for better visibility at night.
These suggestions will of course be channeled to the MPSJ Infrastructure Committee for deliberations and approval. After which IOI will be obliged to fulfill these tasks. We thank the MPSJ Engineering Department for their diligence, prompt and efficient service, and also the cooperation of IOI in seeking an amicable solution to this issue.
