Faulty traffic light a disaster in the making

Smanga Toli from Krugersdorp writes:

Mogale City Traffic Department, kindly urgently attend to the robot at the Randfontein Road turn-off to Krugersdorp/ Soweto.

In the past few weeks, drivers coming from Witpoortjie and passing through this robot to Kagiso have observed the following:

• The caution or yellow light does not function – it totally does not exist.

• After the light turns green it turns directly to red! This has a great potential to cause accidents as several cars would suddenly stop in the middle of the intersection after the robot, which ought first to caution motorists, suddenly turns red.

What I cannot fathom is the habitual presence of traffic officers at this robot or in that vicinity, but nothing seems to be done about the faulty robot. This is shocking indeed!

At Caxton, we employ humans to generate daily fresh news, not AI intervention. Happy reading!
