Africa-Press – Eswatini. <\/strong><\/span>The Ministry of Public Works and Transport is in the process of installing modern light-emitting diode (LED) traffic lights in the country.<\/b><\/p>\n

According to Chief Roads Engineer Vincent Dlamini, this is done so that the country can move on with the times and have traffic lights that will be easy to understand and be friendly to motorists and other road users.<\/p>\n

Dlamini said the LED would help motorists and other road users in order to see clearly the signs conveyed by the traffic lights to them. \u201cWhat is also good about these traffic lights is that they have what were can refer to as a timer, which tells the road users about the period in which they are going to stop, while others are moving,\u201d Dlamini said.<\/p>\n

The engineer further said the traffic lights were installed so that it could be easy and predictable for motorists, as they used the traffic lights. He said the installation of the traffic lights was part of their programme of maintaining street lights around the country. He said the programme was going to begin in Mbabane and was going to be done in other urban areas across the country. He also pointed out that these street lights were going to be powered by solar energy.<\/p>\n
