The National Works Agency (NWA) is reporting that traffic signals on Montego Bay’s Elegant Corridor, in the vicinity of the Jamaica Defence Force Outpost in Flankers, St James is currently out of operation.

The Elegant Corridor runs from Lilliput to the Sangster’s International Airport in St James.

Motorists are being urged to exercise extreme caution at this time.

Community Relations Officer for the NWA Western Region, Janel Ricketts, stated that a recent motor vehicle accident resulted in significant damage to the hardware of the traffic signals, rendering the system inoperable.

The NWA team says it is working to have the issue resolved in the shortest possible time.

Ricketts is reminding road users that when the traffic signals are out of service, no one has the right of way. Caution should therefore be taken in navigating the intersection.

The NWA’s warning comes against the background of traffic accidents occurring at the location, resulting in multiple fatalities.
