Pedestrians entering the capital city, Port-of-Spain, via City Gate can now enjoy a safer way to move about with the new updated and improved delineation of pedestrian crossings near the facility.
In its Facebook page, the Ministry of Works and Transport posted images showing the new diagonal crossings, organised by its Traffic Management Branch.
“With the new road markings, pedestrians can now cross diagonally, reducing the number of directions you have to navigate when crossing to get to your final destination,” the Ministry said in its post.

The Ministry assures:
“For thousands of pedestrians who use the City Gate facilities to enter or exit the capital city, you are now able to cross at every direction.”
According to the Ministry, this pedestrian crossing update is part a larger project being undertaken by the Traffic Management Branch towards “improving facilities for pedestrians, especially in urbanized areas of Trinidad.”
