Third Avenue Dip, Newton Park Early Warning System Launched

13 February 2018 By NMB Communications Leave a Comment

John Best

https://youtu.be/B3w7LxesDrA Flashing lights to indicate the closure of the low-level bridge in Third Avenue Avenue, Newton Park during flooding was launched today. Member of the Mayoral Committee for Safety and Security, Cllr John Best, said the lights – that will be operated remotely from the South End Fire Station control room – will ultimately lessen inconvenience to motorists as the road can be reopened quicker and improve road safety. “The boom gates erected by the Infrastructure and Engineering Department in 2010 are not effective. Some motorists cut the locks, remove the barricade and drive through at immense personal risk to themselves which renders this system ineffective. “Officials from our Disaster Management and Information Technology departments came up with a solution that we believe will work. As soon as the water level at the low-level bridge is deemed dangerous, red lights will be switched on remotely to inform motorists that they cannot use the road safely any longer. “If these signs are disregarded, offenders will be prosecuted. A fine of R1 500 can be issued when traffic signs are ignored. “However we will keep the boom gates in place for now until we are confident that the electronic system is perfectly safe. “Lights will also be erected in the William Moffett Expressway to inform motorists when the low-level bridge is closed. The road can also be opened with much less effort when water levels subsided enough to allow traffic to pass through again,” said MMC Best. In cases of emergency, please call 041 585 1555 for access to the Metro Police, Fire and Emergency Services and Traffic Law Enforcement. … [Read more...]

John Best

IT technicians from the Road Traffic Management Corporation (RTMC), proprietors of the software and hardware at the Korsten Traffic and Licensing Centre, are servicing the Korsten server this morning. This means that the eNatis and Live Enrolment Units at the Traffic Department in Port Elizabeth will be off for approximately an hour from 09:00 and could affect the performance of the system during the course of the day. Member of the Mayoral Committee for Safety and Security, Cllr John Best, said the down time is regrettable but necessary to ensure that the current system - despite its frailty - functions at an optimum level. … [Read more...]
