Covid-19: JRA will not be fixing most faulty traffic lights during lockdown
JOBURG – The Johannesburg Road Agency (JRA) will have a team on standby for emergencies.
Johannesburg Roads Agency (JRA) has said due to the national lockdown they will not be fixing traffic lights during the lockdown period.
In a statement released on 30 March, JRA said, “Due to the national lockdown, the JRA will not be in a position to fix most of its faulty traffic lights as it aims to protect its employees.”
The statement explained that they expect a decrease in traffic volumes which is why they do not expect traffic congestion.
JRA, however, will have a team on standby in each region in Johannesburg, to fix intersections identified as risky or critical to governments attempt to deal with the Covid-19 pandemic.
If you have emergency issues relating to traffic lights, contact Siya Genu from JRA on 071 675 1439.
Emergency work will be undertaken through standby teams deployed per Depot, per region during the COVID-19 Lockdown period. JRA standby numbers are on the website on the following link: https://t.co/9DykZF11PO
