The Chaguanas Borough Corporation has scrapped parts of its traffic plan. However, Mayor Faaiq Mohammed said traffic would still be able to flow east along Eleanor Street and exit to the north and south on to the Southern Main Road and subsequently on to the Chaguanas Main Road if proceeding north after exiting Eleanor Street. He said traffic leaving Marc Street would still be able to cross the Chaguanas Main Road and enter into Trial Street.
The mayor said the plan to allow traffic to enter the Endeavour overpass after exiting the Price Plaza Roundabout has been scrapped. He said while this was working it was causing a backlog of traffic along Rodney Road in the vicinity of the roundabout near ANSA Mc AL complex .
He said this was also causing a backlog of traffic along the Montrose Main Road that filters through Lange Park to access the highway.
He said the one way traffic in the area of Chan Ramlal Street has also been reverted.
Mohammed said this was done after discussions with the Ministry of Works. He said in the new year plans would be discussed for the Endeavour Overpass and the Chan Ramlal area.
Mohammed said the existing roadways cannot cope with the volume of traffic and more roads and lay-bys are needed to allow traffic to exit on to the highway.
Mohammed said he wrote to the Minister of Works requesting a lay-by be installed at Mulchan Sieuchan Road for traffic to exit on to the North Bound lane of the Highway. He said this would ease the congestion near the Medford Gas Station and allow a quicker exit on to the northbound lane for motorist coming from Lange Park and areas in Chaguanas East and allow for a faster flow to the highway from downtown Chaguanas and the Orchard Gardens area.
Mohammed said an overpass was also needed in the Brentwood area to allow commuters from Edinburgh 500 access to both lanes of the highway.
A solution has been found for Chaguanas traffic snarl

On Monday, Rohan Sinanan, Minister of Works and Transport, Senator the Richie Sookhai, Minister in the Ministry of Works and Transport, and an executive team met with members of the Chaguanas Chamber of Industry and Commerce and other members of the business community.
At the meeting, both parties explored potential collaborative measures to address traffic management issues in the Chaguanas Borough and surrounding areas.
>>>>>The Ministry presented a three-tier plan for short, medium, and long-term solutions for traffic management challenges. The technical team presented a range of projects, including the construction of overpasses and roundabouts to ease traffic flow and congestion in Central Trinidad. Director of the Programme for Upgrading Roads Efficiency (P.U.R.E.), Hayden Phillip also updated the Chamber on a series of initiatives to be executed in the near future. Key initiatives include:
• The expansion of the Solomon Hochoy Highway, to three lanes in both directions, from Chaguanas to the Chase Village Highway.
• A comprehensive reconstruction of the Bridal Road Bridge.
• Rehabilitation of the Caroni Road that spans from the Silver Bridge to the Uriah Butler Highway.
Other ongoing projects that were identified are:
• Improvements to Phase 2A of the Endeavour Interchange.
• Improvements to the Uriah Butler Highway at various sections from Chaguanas to Grand Bazaar.

this proposed road (in blue) that will pass behind Xtra Plaza, Pennywise Plaza and Price Plaza will help a lot to ease up the traffic that currently occurs on the Nagar Rd., however the roundabouts at both ends of Price Plaza are too small and get clogged quickly.

they can get behind and bypass the roundabout or the lil traffic by bhagwansingh
but not sure how the back road will be meeting rodney road unless they fixing up behind where the old republic bank was in price plaza

i dont understand from ur description...i'm but a humble idiot lol
anyone has a diagram for the plan for there?
maj. tom wrote:Watch what they can do:
The traffic on the Nagar Road (Narsaloo Ramaya Rd) is heavy at peak time in the evenings and Saturdays. It's caused by the volume of cars northbound on Nagar Road crossing the south lane to get into Pennywise and Xtra Foods plazas. This makes both lanes stop every 10 seconds and more. Stop that. No crossing of the traffic flow, only one way in the front entrance of the Plazas via the south lane. Put up an uncrossable middle barrier along the Nagar road, widen the road a bit because there is room. This is all the traffic coming in from the Southbound highway too and through the Heartland roundabout. No crossing lanes. Traffic delays right there would ease up considerably and keep the roundabout by PriceSmart flowing.
So what about the northbound Nagar Road lane? Keep driving and go up to the Heartland Plaza roundabout and back southbound now through that new road they're building. Yeah 10 minutes more of driving is not killing your gas tank. Remember this would make the traffic ease up considerably so it shouldn't be a crawl. Make new entrances from that new road into the plazas from the other side. And this is how they can regulate the exits too, only one way flow each side. If you're exiting to go south Nagar road, only exit at the front of the plaza to keep the flow moving in one direction. Exit to Southbound highway, exit at the back where the new road takes the Heartland roundabout back to the highway. Exit to Northbound highway remains the same as now down around the ANSA roundabout and back up across the flyover.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In fact that entire traffic region is caused by crossing lanes to get to the other side, and it's especially bad too on the opposite side by Medford gas station to go northbound highway and the exit by SM Jaleel Mulchan Seuchan Rd to get back onto the flyover ramp. All this traffic backs up when the volume is peak time and the entire system gets clogged. You can trace it back to that problem.
Roundabouts, double roundabouts and double mini-roundabouts and cutting a few more new access roads can help alleviate the problem of cutting across traffic flow to get to the other side. It's easier and cheaper too than engineering new flyovers and ramps to hold 100 metric tons or more for the next 60 years.

i like this idea.. hadda put one by Nagar too cause men go turn there lolSo what about the northbound Nagar Road lane?

maybe 5 mins from PP north round about and back around.

maybe they should try to construct something like this, but i think there's a building where the ramp would be now

maj. tom wrote:Yep, once there's no major crossing of lanes. The thing is, all this should have been planned and allocated for new road construction way back when all those Plazas were being first drawn on paper. The owners and government approval authorities didn't care at all about planning for this nor care about the volume of traffic they would bring to the area. The Borough and whoever else authority should not have given permissions for construction without assurance of future traffic planning.
Now it has turned into a frustrating nightmare every morning and evening for the residents in the region. Is rel sheit every morning, the whole of Montrose, all the back streets in Lange Park, the entire of Rodney Rd and that flyover. It reminds me of the days by Grand Bazaar before the interchange. And those Valsayn crossing lights by Nestle in the morning. Nauseous memories.
