Investec first participant in initiative to keep Sandton traffic lights working during …

Financial services company Investec has become the first property owner to participate in an initiative spearheaded by the Johannesburg Roads Agency (JRA) and the Sandton Central Management District to ensure traffic lights at major intersections in Sandton Central continue to operate during bouts of loadshedding by using generator power sourced from adjacent building owners. Investec’s participation in the Traffic Signal Secondary Power Initiative will see the company’s generator resources power the traffic lights at two key intersections: Grayston drive and Rivonia road; and Grayston drive and West road south. The roadworks required to connect generator power to these two busy intersections are already under way.
