Improvements to Road Safety at Victoria Range

While the Highway Authority in Sri Lanka failed to meet the statutory requirements for the signing of speed limits forming the basis of a legal defence to a charge of exceeding a speed limit, we, the home owners of Victoria Range, Digana, are pleased to note that there are several speed limit sign boards installed at vital points to inform the speed limit, i.e. 15 KmPH, within the premises.

Speed is the main factor in crashes and road trauma. In acknowledging safer speed limits and travelling at appropriate speeds on roads within Victoria Range, we are all contributing to make our roads safer for children, joggers, workers and other vehicles.

Nivasie Developers (Pvt) Ltd has recently installed three new speed limit sign boards; at the beginning of Lotus Avenue, at the Lake Side Roundabout and at the Mountain Avenue Junction. Nivasie is also in the process of installing speed humps along Lotus Avenue in the newly developed Zone Two.

As a permanent resident, I appreciate the steps taken by the Management of Nivasie and ICC to improve road safety within Victoria Range.

I am sure that we all will share the same view.
