Mr Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am informed that the road segment under consideration covers an approximate length of 5.4 km, starting at the Forbach roundabout on motorway M2, passing through Cottage and Forbach Road B181 and extending till the junction of Forbach Road B42 with Poudre d’Or B16 Road. The posted speed along these roads is 60 km/h. Mr Deputy Speaker, Sir, with regard to part (a) of the question, along the 5.4 km stretch of road, the following road safety features already exist – (i) Traffic lights at the junctions of Forbach Road B42 at Beau Plateau Road B43 and at the entrance of Cottage; (ii) Two raised speed tables near community health centre and Quincaillerie St Benoit at Cottage; (iii) A speed camera near Big Splash Sports Club in the region of l’Esperance Trebuchet along Forbach Road B42. Moreover, the following additional measures will be implemented in the forthcoming Framework Agreement Contract 2025-2027 to further improve road safety along these stretches of the road – • Installation of raised pavement markers known also as cats’ eyes; • Construction of raised speed table in the vicinity of pre-primary school at Forbach; • Provision of pedestrian crossing near Meena Bazaar at Cottage; • Creation of a 14 km speed zone along the built-up area at Cottage Village;

89 • Construction of a raised speed table at Restaurant Le Manguier at Cottage along B42 road; • Construction of a raised pedestrian crossing in l’Esperance Trebuchet near an existing bus layby along B42 road; • Construction of two raised speed tables in the vicinity of the village hall and LAD Hardware shop at Poudre d’Or Hamlet; • Provision of traffic lights at the junction of Forbach B42 road with Poudre d’Or B16 road near the temple at Poudre d’Or Hamlet. With regard to part (b)(i) of the question, the yellow box at the junction of the petrol filling station at l’Esperance Trebuchet has already been implemented by the TMRSU. Furthermore, the TMRSU will investigate whether the l’Esperance Trebuchet junction can be controlled with traffic lights while maintaining safe in and out movements at the petrol filling station which is located at the corner of Forbach Road B42 and Royal Navketan Road. Regarding part (b) of the question lastly, Mr Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have checked with the Traffic Management and Road Safety Unit and was told that it has not been made aware of the Poudre d’Or Hamlet Traffic Centre. However, site visits were held in the past for a proposed traffic centre at the junction of Forbach B42 Road and Poudre d’Or B16 Road near the temple. Thank you.

Okay, the Table has been advised that the following PQs have been withdrawn: B/627, B/628, B/629, B/630, B/631, B/633, B/634, B/636, and B/640. Time is over!
