Drainage can be a major problem, especially during the rainy
season. Clogged ditches, storm water drainage pipes and basins can cause
water to stand in the road. This is dangerous to motorists and should be
reported when this problem id found.
Traffic Lights can cause a serious problem when not
functioning correctly. If a light is out or flashing please report this
to the Public Works Department.
Traffic Signs are a feature that safely control the flow of
traffic. Sometimes these signs are obstructed, knocked down, twisted or
even stolen. Signs that need to be repaired or replaced should be
reported to the Public Works Department as soon as possible. |
