There should be a roundabout at the junction of Vlissengen and Kitty Public Road - chairman - 01-08-2017
The junction at Vlissengen and the Kitty Public Road is the main artery through which East Coast residents access Georgetown daily for work and school. Large numbers of vehicles pass through the junction going west in the morning, and again going home eastward in the evening.
The junction has become a rush hour bottleneck which has been the epicentre of driver frustration and road rage, these being only slightly relieved first by traffic lights, and then by police traffic control in the morning rush-hour period. Neither of these measures has resolved the bottleneck.
Westbound early morning traffic is backed up in the right hand lane of the Kitty Public Road from the Russian embassy to the junction. East bound traffic returning home in the evening endures a similar delay. To add insult to injury, law-abiding drivers impotently endure the recklessness of those drivers who prefer to drive dangerously rather than wait their turn.
The junction now requires substantial repairs, since subsidence has created a sinkhole in the westbound lane. Given that expense must in any event now be incurred to repair the junction, this seems to be a propitious time to direct that expense toward the creation of a roundabout at the junction. Several engineers have recommended a roundabout as the solution to the traffic bottleneck at that and other junctions in Georgetown. Perhaps converting this junction to a roundabout can provide a test case to determine whether those recommendations are feasible.
