At these locations, new portal and semi-portal girders were installed, with a modern design and better characteristics compared to the old pillars, which were damaged on several occasions due to storms or traffic accidents. In addition to the standard signalization, a modern signal duration counters have been installed, which will provide traffic participants with additional information on the duration of an individual signal at a traffic light. The value of this investment is around EUR 50,000.

In the next period, and in accordance with the provided budget funds for this purpose, the works on the modernization of traffic lights on the Boulevard of Svetog Petra Cetinjskog Boulevard will continue, and the old traffic light poles will be replaced at other intersections, and the procurement and installation of sound signals at locations that are defined in cooperation with the Association of the Blind as a priority for the blind and partially sighted is also planned. These works will contribute to a more modern appearance of the road, better visibility and traffic safety for all traffic participants.
