SOUTHERN DISTRICT TRAFFIC SIGNS IMPROVED

*****

A WORKING GROUP UNDER THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT BOARD'S TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORT COMMITTEE HAS SUCCESSFULLY BROUGHT IMPROVEMENT TO MORE THAN 40 TRAFFIC SIGNS IN THE DISTRICT.

SINCE ITS FORMATION IN MAY 1985, IT HAD REFERRED ABOUT 60 PROBLEM TRAFFIC SIGNS IDENTIFIED IN THE DISTRICT TO THE DEPARTMENTS CONCERNED FOR RECTIFICATION.

MEMBERS OF THE WORKING GROUP MAINTAIN CLOSE CONTACTS WITH THE TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORT SUB-COMMITTEES OF THE DISTRICT'S SIX AREA COMMITTEES. THEY ALSO CONDUCT SITE VISITS AND ARE CONSTANTLY ALERT TO VIEWS OF RESIDENTS.

COMPLAINTS OR SUGGESTIONS REGARDING TRAFFIC SIGNS ARE RELAYED TO THE TRANSPORT DEPARTMENT FOR REFERENCE THROUGH THE SECRETARY OF THE DISTRICT BOARD'S TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORT COMMITTEE.
