🚦 Traffic light upgrade in GT fails during morning rush hour

An upgrade to the traffic signals at the intersection of Bobby Thomas Way and Smith Road, carried out by the National Roads Authority (NRA), experienced a minor setback during Monday's morning commute. The new system failed, causing some delays for commuters. However, the issue was promptly identified and corrected by 7:45 am. 🚧

The "significant upgrades" to the traffic light infrastructure included the replacement of signal cabinetry and the addition of backup power. The NRA stated that the new equipment would make the traffic systems more resilient and reliable. Despite the initial hiccup with the signal timings on the newly installed signal controller, all systems are now functioning properly. The authority continues to monitor the situation closely to ensure the ongoing reliability of the lighting infrastructure in the area. 🚦

The NRA extended its sincerest apologies to all commuters for any inconvenience experienced and expressed appreciation for understanding as they continue to improve the road infrastructure. They assure that the upgrade will increase the resilience and reliability of the traffic systems, reducing the likelihood of future disruptions. 🛣️
