A solution may be at hand for Phnom Penh’s degenerating traffic congestion problem as Japan’s International Cooperation Agency is readying a project aimed at completely overhauling the city’s non-intuitive traffic light system.
The study, which will begin
within the next month and run to the end of January 2015, will roll out across
the city during 2015 to 2016 if it is deemed a success by City Hall and is
approved by the Japanese government. In addition, a control center in the
department of public works and transport will be outfitted with CCTV and
sensors monitoring the traffic volume in order to manage congestion by
providing appropriate signal patterns.
An independent road safety
specialist said developing a more effective traffic light system would
definitely help ease the city’s growing congestion problem, which would in turn
make for a smoother-running municipal bus service.
