Road users advised to work from home to avoid traffic chaos

As traffic chaos continues to impact across Belfast city centre, the Department for Infrastructure (DfI) has asked people to work from home one day per week.

The road network is over capacity and traffic congestion could be reduced by walking, cycling, taking public transport or working from home, the department has said.

Alongside these measures the DfI are looking at road engineering measures, public transport interventions and providing the public with information.

“There isn’t the physical space to try and put as many vehicles down these roads as possible so… the answer is to get more people onto public transport or to walk or cycle,” Colin Woods from the DfI told the BBC.
