Traffic changes at HWT Road/Oxford Road intersection
KINGSTON, Jamaica — The National Works Agency (NWA) says that effective tomorrow, Tuesday, May 31, changes will be implemented to the traffic flow at the intersection of Half-Way-Tree Road and Oxford Road, in St Andrew.
The changes are aimed at improving and streamlining pedestrian and vehicular movement at this busy intersection, the NWA said in a release.
The following will obtain:
1) The middle through lane on Half Way Tree Road will be modified to accommodate a right turn lane only. This will allow for two exclusive right turn lanes onto Oxford Road
2) The FLOW entrance/exit will be controlled by traffic signals. Individuals leaving and entering the FLOW premises must therefore obey the signals.
3) Drivers making a left turn from Half-Way-Tree Road onto Oxford Road must yield to pedestrians using the pedestrian crossing and motorists making a right turn onto Oxford Rd.
The NWA is urging motorists to observe and obey all the new markings, especially those delineating the lanes.
