Pinetown intersection to work as a single junction
There are new traffic lights and a new approach to Josiah Gumede and St John’s Avenue intersection in Pinetown.
BIKERS, motorists and public transport drivers are to note that new traffic signalling has been installed on the Josiah Gumede and St John’s Road intersection in Pinetown and is now fully operational.
According to Sharlene Versfeld, publicist for the GO!Durban project, previously the northern (where Key Pinetown is located) and southern sides (where Nandos is located) of the intersection worked as two independent junctions having stop lines in the centre of the bridge.
Cars had to stop halfway before proceeding through the intersection completely.
Now the northern and southern sides of the intersection will work as a single junction. This means that now there are no interim stop positions on the bridge.
“This new intersection has been created to allow for the underpass on Josiah Gumede to form part of the dedicated bus lane for GO!Durban, the City’s new integrated rapid public transport network,” said Versfeld.
