The half mile of Garden Road, most of which is routed one-way
downhill, has two sets of traffic lights at the Upper and Lower Albert
Road Junctions to provide a break in the Garden Road traffic for joining
traffic from roads on both sides and for pedestrian movements.
Although the main and the joining traffic is therefore segregated,
there are still a number of weaving movements made by traffic on this
downhill stretch.
The spokesman said: "It would be inadvisable to encourage
motorists to travel faster on these short stretches of roads bearing in
mind the stopping distance required, especially in wet weather,"
The possibility, he said, of revising speed limits on other roads
was being considered.
But no changes in speed limit were likely to be introduced in
the near future since construction works are still in progress on most of
the roads for which an increase in the speed limit was being considered,
the spokesman added.
