Georgetown : Georgetown is to be divided into four quadrants to ease traffic congestion in the city, Minister of Home Affairs Clement Rohee told the media on Friday.
Cabinet has approved for the plan which will see Georgetown divided into North West, North East, South East and South West. March 2014 has been set by the Ministry of Home Affairs to commence the project.
This however, has to be preceded by a public relations campaign to inform citizens of the new traffic system, the Minister said.
This decision was taken following a comprehensive analysis of traffic congestion by the National Commission on Law and Order (NCLO,) which held discussions with stakeholders. The NCLO which was tasked with reviewing and identifying problems and weaknesses in the legislative, organisational and administrative aspects of law and order, held numerous meetings with stakeholders, during which it was proposed that a series of complementary one-way streets be introduced to control the direction and flow of vehicular traffic and ease the daily congestion, Minister Rohee said.
