The reoccurring traffic build up at the Garrison roundabout of the Port Harcourt- Aba expressway isn’t going down well with drivers plying the road.
In an interview with some commercial drivers, they said the roundabout being constructed is obstructing the free flow of vehicular movement.
“If we can tell ourselves the truth, we would know that before this roundabout, there was never anything like traffic jam around this junction.
” This roundabout is too large and it is occupying major space, we already know that Port Harcourt drivers are very impatient and everybody wants to move at the same time and this is the major cause of traffic jam.
” There is also the problem of accidents occurring especially from these big trucks.
” We are tired of these continuous traffic at this junction, it is worst in the mornings and evenings because that’s when people are either going to work or coming back.
“Also the traffic lights and timing is not very functional, unlike the ones we have at Waterlines,GRA and other areas.
The commercial drivers also called on the state government to look into the issue and proffer a solution as soon as possible.
“We appreciate the fact that the state government is working, we also know that this is a mistake from those that handle the project, maybe an architectural mistake or whatever.
“But we cannot suffer for it, this problem needs fixing and quick solution.
