POINT DUTIES EASE HEAVY TRAFFIC DURING PEAK HOURS

By FABIAN BONGAI

NCDC Urban Safety Officers (reservists) have amplified their point duties at intersections, school crossings and roundabouts at strategic parts of the city to ease heavy traffic flow during peak hours.

Ben Bala said his men had been deployed at Koura Way-Waigani Drive intersections, Baruni Road, Port Moresby Technical College and Erima.

Bala is the acting director for NCDC Urban Safety Unit.

He has called on the travelling public and motorists to coorporate with the city authority to ease the heavy traffic flow currently experienced in the area during peak hours.

He said the safety and security for city residents and motorist was the municipal’s police utmost priority.

“I have deployed my reservists on strategic locations to give confidence to the general public especially motorists travelling during the peaks hours from 7am- 9am in the mornings,” said Bala.

NCDC reservists’ presence on the ground at school crossings, roundabouts and road intersections have been managing heavy traffic flow especially during peak hours in the mornings.

“Our effort on the ground in managing traffic flow and movement of pedestrians so far is good. We have observed that there is no heavy traffic after 9 am from Port Moresby National High School to Waigani and Back Road Morata to Waigani,” Bala said.

“Our presence there is to give confidence to the traveling motorist and allow free flow of traffic during peak hours in the morning,” said Bala.

The road rehabilitation work for Koura Way- Waigani Drive intersections which commences on the 6th February 2022 is expected to be completed in eight (8) months’ time.

NCDC again wishes to advice the travelling public that the traffic Lights intersection beneath the Kumul Fly Over will be re-arranged to a one lane traffic to ease the heavy traffic flow currently experienced in that area.

He is also calling on all motorists to co-operate while travelling through the re-organized traffic arrangement at the Erima Traffic Lights.

Once finalized, the alternative routes will be announced to alleviate the traffic situation at Erima, he said.

Mr. Bala commended his officers on the ground for a job well done.
