Talkshow host calls for ‘serious enforcement’ against highway traffic violations
“We have got to find a way where we [are] going to conduct ourselves more safely and securely without all of the hazards that already exists…. if the legislations are not in place and if the proper signage is not in place, there needs to be some serious enforcement,” he said.
The Man of the Cloth was at the time speaking on the Tuesday, November 11, 2020, edition of his “Honestly Speaking” show where he also urged persons to stop picking up people at random on the busy highway.
“You cannot just abruptly stop on a highway to pick people up or drop them off, first of all, you're putting yourself in danger, you’re putting fellow vehicular traffickers in danger,” he said.
More crosswalks needed
Skelton-Cline continued, “Then you all are crossing the street across by One Mart, in particular, all up the road by the roundabout although there is a crosswalk and that's where the governmental piece come in that we need to strategically continue to have these crosswalks.”
He called on Government to implement strict policies against the violations as well as poor road use by pedestrians and for jaywalkers to be ticketed.
“We got to find a way to bring some law and order specifically as it relates to vehicular traffic... an enforcement mechanism that will eliminate or at best minimise what I see happen daily.”
This he said would address the issue and avoid a myriad of accidents on the roadways in the territory.

PLEASE REMOVE THE SMALL BLACK CAR THATS IN THE CORNER WHEN YOU COMING THRU THE HILLS TO COME EAST END..THANK YOU....THAT SH** IS GOING TO COST PPL ALOT OF MOEY
Pot hole have their own micro climate going to Cane Garden Bay they are so large.
The BVI Grand Canyon has formed opposite the Cinema. This may just be man hole cover exposed but its about 1ft of veneers packing up the road.
The moorings is the largest tourism base in the BVI the road in and out is awful. The access out to the highway is just dangerous.
This is a long term project but I personally think we should not even entertain the airport expansion until the roads are fixed.
n
1. a public road that all may use
2. a main road, esp one that connects towns or cities
3. a main route for any form of transport
4. a direct path or course
With all the money he have he don't know the struggles of ppl who have to use their 2 feet to get around this island and when you are working or living around those areas, you have no choice but to cross the highway cause there is no crosswalk anywhere out of town center.
