(Reporter: Gong Changjun; Correspondent: Long Miao, Liu Yuandan) On the morning of April 17, Gao Xia,who isa resident living near the Zhuhai intersection, Development Avenue of the urban area,went out and found that the traffic lightshere had resumed operation. Pedestrianscrossed the road in an orderly manner under the guidance of the green light. On the same day, the High-tech Zone Construction and Management Office and the Police Brigade of the High-tech Zone supervised the construction units to restore the traffic lightsdismantled during the road reconstruction, so that pedestrians could easily cross the road.
On March 13 this year, Gao Xia made a phone call to the newspaper and reflectedthat the safety island at the Zhuhai intersection had been dismantled since the road was rebuilt, and the transportation facilities, the traffic lights, used to be installed on the safety island had also been dismantled. Later, she saw that the pavement had been recovered after the demolition of the island, but the pedestrian traffic lightshad notbeen recovered.
Gao Xia said that without the traffic lights, it was inconvenient for people to goout to buy vegetables at Dongshan vegetable market and cross the road. Without the guidance of the traffic lights, people often went cross the road with the cars, which was very dangerous for them.
According to this situation reflected by the masses, the reporter interviewed the relevant officials of the Traffic Police Brigade of the High-tech Zone and learned that the District Construction and Management Office of the High-tech Zone implemented the demolition of safety island and the restoration of the road surface project during the reconstruction along the Development Avenue. The traffic lightswill be resumed as the project progress.
