New Traffic Signal Control at IRT Intersections

[MFour]

Thought it good as a heads-up about the new traffic signals we can expect to find at intersections along the IRT / BRT (whatever it's called) routes. Although this is on the City of CT site, I'm sure it would be used wherever such a system exists in SA.

Capetonians are having problems understanding these?

lol I don't think it will be a case of not understanding it, more a case of realising that it's there

OMG, I foresee many intersection accidents in the future...

BTW, is it only Durban where the little green guy starts running in the new ones??

Capetonians find it hard understand what the right lane is for.

It would seem most South Africans don't know what the white circle with a red rim around it and a number in the middle means.

Yup, some think it is for going any speed they want, and don't you dare drive just 120km/h in that lane!

Well anybody behind you wanting to pass, you should simply move to the middle lane and then back. But if the speed limit says 120km/h then go ahead and piss off the guy behind you!

Its the trucks or bakkies who can see jack behind them that choose the right lane and hold up traffic even in off peak.
