Are those traffic signals still not working?

Apr 16, 2017 Letters

Dear Editor,
This is an extract from Freddie’s article of February 14 2016, as part of the story of a failed 50 year old journey, quote: “At the junction of UG Road and the Railway Embankment, the scene there is frightening. The signals for some mysterious reason go off at 6 p.m. Any schoolboy can tell you this is a traffic-crazy site. You have UG, Cyril Potter College, Gafoors Complex, Giftland Mall, Caricom Secretariat, Arthur Chung Convention Centre, Aquatic Centre, National Hardware housing estate, plus the construction of a cinema complex, Massy Supermarket and the Specialty Hospital.
If any junction needs traffic signals it this area. But they go dead after six in the evening. What an amazingly backward country.” Now I am in Region 11 and as much as I can remember that article. I cannot remember Freddie coming back to it with updated reports. My curiosity is aroused!
Could Freddie update us on this junction, especially if it is still frightening!
As an activist, Freddie has to be pleased when his activism results in real
successful action.

Editor’s note: Mr. Kissoon informs us that the traffic signals go way beyond 6 pm at that junction but have been out for months now. However there is police traffic control every morning during the rush hour.
