Better roads inspire protection for children

Oct 24, 2012 Letters

 

 

Dear Editor,
I want to take this opportunity to commend whoever is responsible, whether it is the Central Government or the NDC, for the upgrading of our roads in the village of Enmore, East Coast Demerara.
As it is I noticed that works are being done in the Logwood part of Enmore and most importantly I would like to plea to the contractor and relevant authorities to place speed humps in an adequate number on the newly built roads.
If there is a survey done within any given street what you will find is that there are at least five children below the age of six.
With these new and smooth roads there would be an influx of vehicular traffic within the area coupled with some real inconsiderate motorists who will surely take the opportunity to drag race and behave as though they at the grand prix.
What will happen if one of these kids who aren’t accustomed to this high volume of traffic accidentally slips out of his or her yard and ends up in the path of a speeding motorist?
I am appealing to the relevant persons to place speed humps on the streets before it is too late. I think that it is about time that we as Guyanese start being proactive rather than reactive.
 Randy Persaud.
