The continuous absence of road lights on the East Coast highway

Oct 12, 2013 Letters

 

Dear Editor,
Some time ago I had pointed out in the press that I was very concerned about the continuous absence of road lights on the east coast highway, between Turkeyen and Atlanticville, and all reports seem to have fallen on deaf ears.
A few nights ago while on my way home I saw a young lady frantically seeking assistance after her motor vehicle received a punctured tyre. Out of concern and basic courtesy, I readily rendered assistance and she spared no words to express her gratitude.
The following evening I was confronted with a stray cow that was practically invisible due to its dark colour, and myself and a few drivers behind me had to employ all kinds of acrobatics to avoid a serious collision.
Apart from aforementioned hazards, the situation is further compounded by poor road markings, especially along the centre line of that northern carriageway.
I am therefore appealing once again to the relevant authorities to have these issues rectified so that we could keep our roads safe and accident-free.
Alex Edwards
