Road Marking 

The road marking crews of the Ministry of Transport and Works (MTW) will repaint the roundabouts in Welches Heights and Redman’s Village, St. Thomas along Highway 2A. Reflective road studs (cat eyes) will also be installed from the St. Thomas Parish Church roundabout heading north, and on Pine East-West Boulevard, St. Michael. Stop lines and pedestrian crossings will be remarked in Deacons, St. Michael and Country View, St. Philip.

Motorists are urged to avoid speeding through work areas while road markings are being done as this endangers the lives of workers and damages the freshly painted road markings.
