30 city junctions set to be signalised

At least 12 junctions have been fitted with traffic lights and push buttons for pedestrians

Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) will in January next year start the signalisation of at least 30 junctions across the city as one of the ways to control traffic flow.

 The KCCA director of engineering and technical services, Mr Justus Akankwansa, said they would also construct a traffic control centre.

Mr Akankwansa said the government of Japan gave Uganda a Shs89b grant towards improvement of  junctions.

 “Improving traffic control will encourage wider economic impacts and bring orderliness on the city roads. KCCA is grateful to the government of Japan and appreciates residents of Kampala for owning and supporting the development of city infrastructure,” he said.
