Ground Marking Operation Aims to Ease Port — Gentil’s Traffic Woes in Gabon BODY: PORT-GENTIL, Gabon – In a proactive effort to mitigate the urban challenge of traffic congestion, the Syndicat des transporteurs urbains et interurbains de l’Ogooué-Maritime and the City Hall of Port-Gentil have initiated a comprehensive ground marking operation. Launched in June 2026, this initiative is set to reshape the flow of traffic around the principal markets in the economic hub of Gabon.
The operation is a strategic move to not only optimize traffic movement but also to enhance the overall safety and efficiency of urban travel in Port — Gentil. Road markings and signage are anticipated to streamline the movement of vehicles and pedestrians, tackling the recurring bottlenecks that have become a norm around the city’s bustling markets. This project is part of a broader effort to elevate the city’s urban infrastructure and services.
The Syndicat and the City Hall have emphasized the importance of the ground marking operation as a step towards resolving the frequent disputes between local police and transporters. City officials, such as Kevin Racine Rogombé, the technical director of the municipal hall, have expressed optimism about the project’s potential to bolster public safety and mobility, noting its alignment with the city’s goal to create a better urban environment for its inhabitants and visitors.
The Gabonese government has been at the forefront of several infrastructure and service enhancement projects, reflecting its dedication to fostering economic diversification and bolstering national logistics competitiveness.
The ground marking operation is a vital component of these broader initiatives. While the operation presents certain logistical challenges, it is viewed as an essential stride toward improving Port-Gentil’s quality of life and facilitating its ongoing development.
As the operation progresses, the government remains committed to closely monitoring its impact on traffic flow and public safety.
