Some city streets to become one-way routes to ease congestion

Minister of Home Affairs Clement Rohee has announced that several streets in Georgetown will soon be designated one way streets to reduce traffic congestion and aid the fight against crime.

“We would of course have to lay out the plan to make it public, and we would of course have to engage in discussions and consultations with many other stakeholders, as well as residents in various parts of the city where we intend to establish this network of one way streets. This is another innovative way that we will be implementing to address the traffic congestion in the city of Georgetown. We believe that it is workable, ‘doable’, it is acceptable, and based on the consultations we would have had already,” Rohee said at a press briefing at his office on Tuesday, according to a Government Information Agency (GINA) report.

The announcement followed a Cabinet meeting on Tuesday which examined a presentation from the National Commission on Law and Order
