Wednesday, January 30, 2008 LTO: City's traffic lights have reduced accidents By Carlo P. Mallo
THE implementation of the first phase of the multi-million-peso traffic signalization project in the major thoroughfares of Davao City has made traffic flow smoother and have lessened vehicular accidents, Land Transportation Office (LTO)-Southern Mindanao chief Gomer Dy said.
However, Dy proposed that there should still be traffic enforcers who would man the intersections, as there are still some drivers who beat the red light.
The traffic signalization project of the city has been implemented for more than a year already.
But some portions of the project have been put on hold due to the collapse of the Governor Generoso Bridge I in April 2007.
The City Government has now entered the second phase of the project, which would include intersections in the inner portions of the streets and even in the suburban areas of the city.
The first phase was concentrated on the urban areas of the city, especially in the city proper.
