“Wah come sa do” times

Jul 23, 2022 Letters

Dear Editor,

Kaieteur News – As I approached the Mocha Road Entrance leading onto the East Bank Road to turn to Georgetown, I observed a buildup of traffic. As I slowly drove across the road, I noticed that it was as a result of an accident with a minibus and car. Now, bear in mind that there is no traffic light at this entrance that has become 10 times busier than a few years ago. Nevertheless, we do get over without much waiting. The problem lies in vehicles that goes to the gas station to transact business and want to go down the Bank (airport side) and decide that they will instead of going up the road and turn around, choose to cut across the road diagonally putting themselves in danger of vehicles coming down the East Bank road on the northern side and putting vehicles trying to come over from Mocha Road in harms way. That is exactly what happened this morning (Friday) at 10:45am.
A few years ago, I saw the danger in this recklessness and informed persons at the gas station to make the 1st driveway an “entrance only” and the 2nd driveway “exit only”. It went through one ear and came out the other.
I then stopped a few times when I would see the Police Inspector on the road and explained to him the dangers of having vehicles cutting across diagonally, to put some road sign to indicate no access but that fell on deaf ears too.
Keep in mind that this reckless behaviour goes on right in front of the Providence Police Station. I am kindly asking for the Traffic Chief to send a team to look at the situation there and put the necessary signs in place and insist that the gas station puts up the necessary signs for “entrance and exit only.”
Like Mr. Freddie Kissoon says people have become wary of complaining since the authorities are not fixing basic problems so now we are living in “wah come sa do” times. When the damage is done then we ‘gon’ fix it.

Regards,
Saudia Ferouz
