Traffic Light
At first the Bugle figured that the new traffic light at the end of the Kalaklan bridge was turned off by someone with foresight to help alleviate traffic backing up into the SBFZ during Holy Week. But alas it was not that way as said light is still not functioning yet. What has been making matters worse is the local jeepneys and buses that fly right pass the non functioning light ignoring the fact that all vehicles are required to come to a stop at any non-working traffic lights.

You are probably correct that the traffic light was turned off to alleviate traffic backing up into the Freeport during Holy Week. However, when inquiring about why it is still off SBMA states that it is the responsibility of the City of Olongapo to turn it back on. When you call the city they state it is the responsibility of SBMA. We may never see a red, green or yellow light at that intersection again!!! Will probably take a major accident before something is done.
ReplyDeleteIt is not just that light either. The one near Royal has not functioned since Christ was a baby. Again the comparison with Clark is stark. They have new, well maintained and modern lights that count-down the seconds until the color will change.Doo-dah,doo-dah.
ReplyDeleteI first encountered the countdown lights in Bangkok and always wondered why more places didn't adopt them. In regards to why the lights are not working, I am sure that someone thinks they are saving electricity and that if the lights are not on then they won't burn out and need to be replaced.
