TRAFFIC RANKS URGENTLY NEED AT KITTY VLISSENGEN ROAD

Jun 24, 2015 Letters

Dear Editor,
I write to voice my disgust at the traffic commotion on the Kitty public road from the gas station to the junction at Kitty seawalls and Vlissengen Road, going west onto Carifesta Avenue.
Every morning it is a nightmare. The minibus drivers with their usual discourteous, rude and obnoxious behaviour, would keep pushing their buses, cutting in front of vehicles already in line within their correct lanes. These minibuses are never in their correct lanes, no signal is used and create a second to third lane going west onto Carifesta Avenue, disrupting the turning lane onto Vlissengen Road, leaving the rightful drivers in that lane frustrated and with no other choice but to wait on these ill-mannered creatures.
I am appealing to the Commissioner of Police to position a permanent Traffic Rank at this juncture. Indeed at times there is a traffic rank over the traffic light on Carifesta Avenue, but the real chaos starts happening from the Kitty Road, from the vicinity of the gas station.
Apart from that, I also urge the requisite Ministry which is responsible from these minibus operators, the Minibus Association, to have them report for frequent training on road etiquette, and even whether they are fit to be drivers on the road taking responsibility of so many lives. I also seek to blame some of the passengers who sit there and condone this type of behavior. Passengers need to start taking up to them, let them know without you the passengers they have no livelihood.
I see the great enthusiasm to clean the city, which I applaud, but keeping the city clean and having person operating like hooligans driving on the road cannot take this country to the next level. Moral is of paramount importance and must prevail to hold the fabric of society together.
Samuel Hyman
