Slow moving traffic |
The stretch of road from Ayurveda Junction, Rajagiriya, to Horton
Place roundabout would no longer be a motorists' headache with the new
synchronized traffic light system installed within the next few days,
Colombo Municipal Council Competent Authority Omar Kamil told the Daily
News.
He said more than 75,000 vehicles come into the city passing the
Rajagiriya Ayurveda Junction, Castle Street, D.S Senanayaka Junction up
to Horton Place roundabout each day. It takes 45 minutes or one and a
half hours sometimes to cover the four kilometre stretch during the rush
hours in the morning, afternoon and evening. To prevent time waste and
to smoothen the traffic flow, the CMC under the 100 day program have
improved the traffic lights system.
