Premier switches on new traffic signals at Wickham’s Cay 11
The commissioning ceremony comes almost two months after the signing of the contract between Government and JoClaud Enterprises Limited of Trinidad and Tobago to signalize the James Walter Francis Drive and Wickham’s Cay II/Pasea Intersection. The terms of the contract provided for the installation, supply, maintenance and operation of the traffic signals.
Premier Ralph T. O’Neal did the honour of switching on the lights in the presence of Minister for Communications and Works Hon. Julian Fraser, 5th District representative Hon. Elvis Harrigan, Director of JoClaud Enterprises, Ltd John C. Samuel among other persons.
The traffic lights will enable the flow of eastbound traffic to make a right turn into Wickham’s Cay II and allow for traffic exiting Wickham’s Cay II to also make a right turn on James Walter Francis Drive. A formal pedestrian crosswalk with a combination of road markings and crossing light activated by a push button are now in place.
The new lights at Wickham’s Cay II and the existing ones at Station Avenue are wirelessly interconnected to keep both in sync in order to ensure an efficient and coordinated flow of vehicular traffic.
The general public is being asked to follow the rules of the road and adhere to the traffic signals.
More information on the commissioning ceremony is to follow.
