I refer to the post ‘No date yet on making traffic system “intelligent’”.
When we installed the variable message signs, months ago, we had stated that the signs will first be used extensively for the works on the Kappara project. We have used the signs prior to works on Monday night and will be using them further in the coming days, when the project will require road closures.
The variable message signs will be a source of information for drivers throughout the duration of the Kappara project.
They have been used extensively to inform drivers on the Dock 7 closure last week, to inform them about the tidal lane and other road works.
Nonetheless, the variable message signs will be used more effectively after the next phase of the project is implemented and the national traffic control centre is up and running.
