Sta Luċija local council is calling on the transport authority to address the intense traffic congestion in the vicinity of Xintill roundabout during the rush hour.

The council said that Sta Luċija residents are finding it very difficult to leave the locality because of the volume of traffic going through the area to avoid Tal-Barrani thoroughfare.

Pictures taken yesterday show that the road leading from the roundabout to the traffic lights near the entrance to the Santa Maria Addolorata Cemetery was particularly clogged.

The council appealed to the Police Commissioner to station traffic police during the rush hour to control the situation.
