SAN JOSE, Antique – The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) is warning the public against vandalizing road signage that could cause vehicular accidents.
DPWH Antique maintenance division chief Engineer Raul Armada said there are many contractors who complain about stolen, damaged, or removed road signage placed for road projects.
“We already coordinated with the barangay officials so that they could help us safeguard the road signage,” Armada said.
He noted the DPWH has already put a rumble strip just before the area where a Ceres bus fell off a cliff in Barangay Igbucagay, Hamtic last April 5.
“The rumble strip will serve as warning to the approaching motorists to slow down,” he said.
DPWH central office has instructed the local agency to come up with a master plan that prevents road accidents in the province.
“We are right now coming up with a master plan for the road widening,” he said. (With a report from PNA/PN)
