some high needed to be implemented for texting while driving.
Anytime a vehicle slows up in front of you or make sudden stop its always the phone.
let the idle police get to work.
I might add that some crosswalks are in inapropriate junctions and many more are needed, not only in Road Town, but all around.
Although very unfortunate, and I wish the pedestrian a speedy recovery; they have been continually warned about just crossing these road ways in that manner? I think we need to get serious about this little place we live and dwell. RULES NEED TO BE ENFORCED AND ADHERED TO FOR THE SAFETY OF ALL!
Happy Friday to your salty self.
It's a danger zone. No Taxi pull off, everyone speeding to get to work, no over pass, limited gaps in the traffic to let people pass. Cars slamming each other because of sudden stops, to give someone a ride.
It’s a mess.
