Mr Deputy Speaker, Sir, with your permission, I shall reply to this Parliamentary Question. I am informed by the Traffic Management and Road Safety Unit of the Ministry of Land Transport that the stretch of road along Drapers Avenue extending from Sir Virgil Naz Avenue to Belle Rose Avenue in the vicinity of Restaurant Venise, is a two-way carriage way of width varying from 5 to 5.5 metres over an approximate length of 480 metres. It is predominantly characterised by continuous residential properties on both sides. I am further informed that the TMRSU received a petition dated 6 February 2026 from the residents of Drapers Avenue, Belle Rose, requesting the installation of speed humps and speed breakers along this road, deploring serious concerns regarding excessive vehicular speeding and pedestrian safety. The TMRSU initially assessed the feasibility of installing raised speed tables along this stretch of road. However, pursuant to a site visit conducted on 21 May 2026, recommendation has been made for the installation of three rubber-based road humps, together with appropriate traffic signage due to the inadequate drainage system in the area. These traffic calming measures are intended to curb speeding and improve road safety for local residents, pedestrians and other road users. Mr Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am advised that the Ministry of Land Transport has already initiated the procurement procedures for the acquisition of these rubber-based road humps and that the TMRSU has been directed to prioritise and expedite the implementation of these safety measures as soon as the contract is awarded. Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker, Sir.

Yes, hon. Member?

Je vous remercie, M. le président. Au nom des résidents de Drapers Avenue et à la suite de leur pétition, je remercie l'honorable ministre pour sa réponse. L'honorable ministre pourrait-il indiquer à la Chambre dans quel délai les résidents pourraient espérer l'installation des ralentisseurs surélevés ?

I believe very soon, Mr Deputy Speaker, Sir, as the procurement procedures have already been launched. It is a question of one or two months.

Une dernière?

Okay, last one.

Je vous remercie, M. le président. Would the Minister inform the House whether consultations will be held with the Municipal Council of Quatre Bornes and local residents of Drapers Avenue prior to the installation of high raised speed breakers? Thank you.

And the MPs.

Sorry?

And the MPs as well.

And the MPs as well. Thank you.

Mr Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am informed by the TMRSU that the engineer informed one of the local petitioners already. However, during the site visit, the latter could not come for the site visit. Concerning the Municipal Council of Quatre Bornes, in fact, before the installation, wayleave from the Municipal Council of Quatre Bornes will be sought.

Thank you.

Thank you. The hon. Second Member for Savanne and Black River! BEAU VALLON SKATE BOARD PARK – CONSTRUCTION COST – HEALTH & SAFETY MEASURES
