GOODS VEHICLES BANNED FROM COTTON TREE DRIVE AT PEAK HOURS
New traffic arrangements will be introduced in Cotton Troe
Drive during peak hours on weekdays and Saturdays.
Starting from next Wednesday, all goods vehicles will be
prohibited from entering the section of Cotton Tree Drive above Kennedy
Road from 4.30 p.m. to 6.30 p.m.
Announcing this today, the Commissioner for Transport, Mr. B.D.
Wilson, said: "This is one road that is suffering particularly from heavy
congestion caused by slow-moving lorries crawling uphill during the afternoon
peak hours."
Ile explained that as densities increased, restrictions on vehicles
which "slow down and obstruct other traffic" must be imposed.
"Similar restrictions on other roads are being considered and are
likely to come into effect later this year," Mr. Wilson said.
