Damn and I avoided there lunch time cuz it hadn't been opened this morning. Ah well, hopefully it'll cut down my commute home by 10-15 mins

[silent_riot]

This evening had people driving on the wrong lanes/directions etc. I think it needs more signs.
But it was a very good design imo, let's see how it works out next week.

[flower95]

is not they refuse to do the right thing......ppl like myself were caught unaware that the interchange had opened....nothing in the papers.....so when u done gone up the ramp as you do everyday you realize that you just exited the wrong way and had to turn to head west. the public was only informed at 7pm during the news.

once I could still reach Alpine I eh really business nuh

x 10

once I could still reach Alpine I eh really business nuh

Eh?

did u break the law & cross the solid white lines at the top to 'head west' (like all the other ja's) ?
OR
did u do like in the States & Canada...u miss d turn ?? then drive 5 miles down to the next exit & come back....
.
the point here is...if the road signs say Preysal / Gran Couva and u want to go Balmain...why u turn ??? ent u know 'they' progressively bringing the interchange lanes into force. buh u still operate like if nuttin' happenin' ??
.
allah u all who stop at the top & 'cutback' to go Balmain shoulda get ah $1000 ticket to celebrate 2012.
.
stop the sheitin' complaining & embrace progress, man...WITH YR EYES OPEN

That being said, I see that there is still one traffic light in force. I thought that ALL lights would have been eliminated...

[MBC Autotronix]

^^ i think that is because only part of the interchange is completed and opened. The final thing is due to be completed in April 2012

[SmokeyGTi]

[Mark!]

lets just say i was really surprised when i passed there to go couva yesterday

[VexXx Dogg]

relatively smooth traffic flow
only a couple confused people doing toots, but there should have been a couple traffic wardens to continue to guide the noobs.

[bushwakka]

discussion

waste of tax payers forking money.....ah does wonder who does design dat kinda sheit for them unno sumhow i feel is bridge or bryan cuz is no common sense at all.....buh daz just me.....

[brams112]

anyway trinis does ever read signs and follow the rules of the road?

[A172]

this new design is great, much needed for that flyover

TalkNahs gon' cyak....phoqin illiterate cvnts

[evolution7tt]

It works well imo. Many drivers are not obeying the signs though. I would like to see how well it works at peak hours.

[Team Loco]

Its a good design, but because this is just phase 1, I forsee some traffic where the one traffic light remains. As for proper signage, its all there, no excuses. People need to read a bit, too much idiots bumping their gums
