TACLOBAN CITY – The Traffic Enforcement Operations Management, Enforcement and Control Office (TOMECO) and supplier of the newly-installed traffic lights in the city of Tacloban authorize representative were decided by members of the Sangguniang Panlungsod of Tacloban to request for appearance in the forthcoming regular session.
This is due to the problems on newly- installed traffic lights that were observed by members of the city council to be in need of calibration, Councilor Jerry “Sambo” Yaokasin explained.
“We are worried because we are already foreseeing that in this coming month of December, there will be a problem on traffic due to the bulk of passengers and vehicles that will use city roads,” Yaokasin said.
Yaokasin added that some council members had observed that traffic lights are not in sync.
“Just like in the traffic light near market area, after “stop signal or red light”, go signal or green light will immediately be on without turning the yellow light or the stand-by or prepare signal,” Yaokasin explains.
“Traffic lights in Paterno corner Imelda Veteranos has also problem as according to one of my colleague, there are times that all green light are on at the same time,” he added.
“Until now these problems have not yet been addressed,” Yaokasin stressed.
Yaokasin added that aside from the problem on traffic lights, they had also found out that the calibration of the traffic lights once problem is experienced was not included in the contract that the city government and the supplier had entered into.
“There were no member of TOMECO who are trained to calibrate these traffic lights, which the supplier should have done before or after these traffic lights were installed,” he stressed.
