Four-way traffic stop to be erected at Mangrove Junction

In an effort to improve safety at the Mangrove Junction in St. Philip, a four-way traffic stop will be erected there tonight, Tuesday, August 30th.

The move follows a recent spate of accidents at the junction.

The Ministry of Transport, Works and Water Resources says ‘Reduce Speed’ signs and ‘Stop’ signs will be installed at Mangrove Main Road, which is the Four Roads to Airport stretch of the road.

Previously, signs were only placed along the two minor roads at Mangrove and Market Road.

Deputy Chief Technical Officer (Operations) Philip Tudor says a similar four-way traffic stop has been erected successfully at a junction in the Ivy, St. Michael where a number of car accidents had occurred.

Motorists are urged to approach all four legs of the Mangrove Junction with caution and pay close attention to the newly erected signage.

The Ministry has thanked the public for its cooperation and encourages all road users to be safe on the road.
