Simple solution to Tarouba Link Road horrors

Every af­ter­noon there is stand still traf­fic and long de­lays along the San Fer­nan­do By-Pass; even now in lock down times.

This is caused by ve­hi­cles head­ing to the Sir Solomon Ho­choy high­way not be­ing able to ex­it the TOSL round­about.

A sim­ple so­lu­tion is to dual the east bound lane of the Tarou­ba Link Road up to the ex­it on­to the high­way. The left lane should be unim­ped­ed to al­low free ac­cess to the high­way and so do­ing will al­le­vi­ate the grid­lock at the round­about. Since the Tarou­ba Link Road is quite wide it may be pos­si­ble to do this sim­ply by re­mark­ing the road­way and nar­row­ing the shoul­ders.

I do hope the Min­istry of Works and PURE read this and save us our dai­ly suf­fer­ing.
