This idea can solve the chaos on the East Bank Demerara

Nov 01, 2013 Letters

 

Dear Editor,
Thank you for publishing my letter about a year ago on Traffic bottleneck at Ruimveldt Police Station to Punt Trench on the East Bank Demerara and I compliment the relevant authorities for adhering to my advice on making the two way lane from Ruimveldt Station to Punt Trench. Now there is no traffic build up from Ruimveldt Station to Banks DIH and no need for traffic policemen. Thanks authorities. Now I go further to give this one a try.
Every morning, there is traffic chaos on the East Bank from Grove to Diamond going north bound in the morning from 06:00 to 09:00 hrs; one hour to get to Georgetown normal time (20 minutes) from Diamond (one hour and a half).
I did a computer projection on this one. There are four lanes from the Stadium, two lanes north-bound and two south-bound. The south-bound lanes have a trickle of vehicles from 6 am to 4 pm about 100 ft apart travelling. Why not convert the south western bound lane only to a north-bound express lane (no buses or hire cars) like in Canada, from 6 to 10 am; from the Stadium to Gafoors. First, place policemen to direct traffic from Gafoors to use one lane out of Georgetown to the stadium and that is the south eastern bound carriageway. You will find one empty southwestern bound lane. Use that lane beside the median for north western bound traffic in the morning; chaos on the East Bank Demerara will be no more.
Thank you.
