Trials to start soon to ease traffic jams on key routes and choke points – Ro Filipe

The Government will soon begin trialing a series of targeted measures aimed at easing traffic congestion on key routes and choke points.

Minister for Public Works, Ro Filipe Tuisawau says these trials will be conducted with a focus on real-time feedback from the community, ensuring that the solutions implemented are effective and practical.

However, he says the success of these initiatives depends on the cooperation and support of all Fijians.

Ro Filipe says they are acutely aware of the impact that traffic congestion has on our daily lives — from delays at work, school, and important appointments, to the economic losses that ripple through our society.

He calls on drivers and passengers to remain patient and work with them as they test these new measures.

Ro Filipe stresses that the Government is committed to easing the suffering caused by traffic congestion that affects countless Fijians every day.

He says traffic congestion also continues to be a challenge for many Fijians, leading to lost time, missed opportunities, increased fuel costs, and significant personal stress.

Line

In partnership with the Land Transport Authority, Fiji Police Force, Fiji Roads Authority, Ministry of Education, Heritage and Arts, and the Ministry of Local Government, the Government is looking into implementing practical solutions aimed at reducing congestion.

These solutions are being developed with the input of experts and key community stakeholders, ensuring they reflect the needs of the people.

Ro Filipe says the team will begin an educational awareness campaign shortly on the methods, and solutions they intend to implement.
