He had earlier said that it would take at least three months after the bill is passed in the Senate to be proclaimed to allow for the necessary public education campaign and the required training of police officers in the use of the breathalysers.
Sorry to hear that boss.
I didn't mean to ask about the thread to cause pain, but I thought that there was a lively, thoughtful and necessary discussion about the madness that takes place on our roads every day.
condolences to the friends and families who have lost loved ones.
Commuters have resorted to car-pooling, taking public transportation and leaving their vehicles at home, all in a bid to get away from the chronic traffic congestion which begins before 6 am every day choking off movement into and out of the city.Eh nutten wrong wit takin dem measures, but traffic is relly one of de top problems in de country. I tink is ah combination of poor planning and political assholeness dat responsible for de level of gridlock dat exists.
Doh even speak for those poor souls who hadda drive into diego on an afternoon..I do dat once and say never again.yeah, last year I get ketch in dat...from st. james to west moorings did take real long :o....is a good thing i wasnt goin blue range. ;)
The funny thing to me is wen i in de north i stuck in it. In south i never really get catch in traffic for too long.

sigh ... :-\
facetiousness, sarcasm and tongue-in-cheek comments really doh translate well in a chat forum. I tink I have to use more emoticons :) ;) :D ;D >:( :( :o
too many people so immersed in day-to-day horrors that dey no longer se the humurous side of life
but a few points worth mentioning
1) it is a rural bridge but is the only connection to a beautiful beach on de South Coast (La retraitte)
2) the bridge did collapse in the late nineties and had to be rebuilt .. if yuh going to rebuild a bridge at least try to conform to more recent technological standards. This should not be an issue for a country with T&T technological resources. To besides, the bridge is run-down by any standards including T&T .. even de locals cross with caution. In fact it is bounce de same as when last I crossed it 2 decades ago and it jess get re-built
3) just because it is rural does not mean those residents deserve any less
4) that particular morning, the crews were out cutting bush at the side of the road and painting the cables which from my observations, had never been painted .. so why paint it now .. why at the time of reconstruction? take a look at the floor of the bridge itself -- more time should be spent on the actual structure dan painting de cable with rust paint? And de were done by 10:00 am - welfare in all its glory.
5) at the same time, the road to Grand Chemim Moruga was worse that what I remember when last I traveled it in de 1980's ... two decades later, it still in disrepair. These sentiments were echoed by my relatives who living in Moruga
6) I am foreign and I have never pretended to know what the solutions are. The picture was meant to present a somewhat humorous aspect of the seriousness fo the issues. the comment about the traffic was a JOKE.
Jees-an ages .. :o
but dat is ah UNC-A seat....talk tuh dey representative about why it run down and what level of representation he providing.
Well yuh change yuh name so what yuh expect when they eh know the character posting lol

i even saw acting commissioner Philbert directin traffic by d treasury corner.
I eh carewhat nobody say but u cing d different wit Philbert not that he directin traffic d fact dat police was very present. In d past dat would a neva happen
on a happier note- the PM was caught in the traffic/flooding jam and was seen walking to a meeting at his HYatt hotel ::)
Port of Spain Mayor Murchison Brown yesterday blamed dumping of garbage in water courses and deforestation for the massive flash flooding in downtown Port of Spain.
"The East Dry River burst its bank. But the flooding is also a result of what is happening on the hillside and the indiscriminate dumping in the main water courses," Brown told the Express.
"There is no vegetation to hold the water, that is why there is more water coming downstream."
He added that there are two pumps located on Abattoir Road, which, when turned on, move water out of the city. However, he said the pumps, which are operated by the Ministry of Works and Transport, were not turned on yesterday.
The Express was unable to contact Works Minister Colm Imbert on this.
My trainee just call me she spent d nite in town in d Red House her mther is a police. Dey could not reach home. I sure it have plenty more like she

Sign of the Apocalypse...
I absolutely shudder when I stop and think of the risks we took when I was young... and the risks people continue to take on the roads now. I vividly remember as a 14-year old, riding down from Matelot with some friends in one ah dem flat bed, Hi-Ace type trucks... like what Courts and dem does deliver appliances on. Like 5 a we in de tray and I standing up like Leo facking de Caprio in Titanic, overlooking de cab. Dangerous enough that we in de tray, but standing up too? On top ah dat at one point ah was sitting on top de cab backwards. Real dotishness.
I doh think I ever wore a seatbelt in Trinidad as a child... and can't ever remember seeing ah 'child seat'... what is dat?? lol
Nowadays man driving on shoulder, running car on bald tires normal normal... seatbelt? please. Fast drive, hard drive, bad drive... well, how else tuh show yuh machismo... yuh bravado?
Sad sad state we in.
We have always had high rates of fatal accidents. Apart from seat belt and child seat issues, yuh have tuh contend wit de bad conditions of roads, outdated road designs, insufficient or non-existent lighting, cars that are not road worthy,
Is there such a thing as a speeding ticket in T&T? I never recall seeing one.
Other than the Arrive Alive campaign, what else is done in the area of driver education? It has to start with de teenagers; ketch dem early.
Something that bothering since I was home last is the new flyover at Grand Bazzaar or the CR/SH highway.
It seems to me that the alignment is off big time when you exit on the south end.
A flyover like the one built is really 2 curves , a circular or transitional curve ( if it has a straight bit in the middle) and a vertical curve that changes the elevation and would include a slope for centrifugal forces.
Now this flyover seems to be designed for a speed of 80kmh which is reasonable, but when I looked at the exit it appears as if you would have break and make a sharp right to align with the existing highway because of a massive concrete support structure that takes traffic over the highway from both sides of bamboo.
I hope I'm wrong but if this is indeed the case then I can see many tragic accidents in the future.
Could somebody tell me I'm wrong since I never got out of my car to take a real close look.
if they goin under, the vertical structure should be about 50 feet to the east....too tight from this viewman you ent see how high that is compare to the gas truck there?
but an onsite view may show otherwise
So 3 lanes runnin north-south, then 2 lanes of ramp traffic joinin that goin south, and they have to merge.
I wonder if the ramp traffic is goin to the left or right of that bridge support.
If it goin right, merging before the bridge, cars will not have much time to merge.
I feel it goin left of the support.
In any case it does look like it headin straight into the support.

There is traffic that is going to be coming from north (mount hope) , so who merges ?
The traffic coming off the fly over should not be the merging traffic since they have the row, so consider that.
Now I heard or read that there was a problem but I paid it no mind then but I can see a problem.
Originally when this fly over was proposed over 20 yrs ago the stag factory was supposed to go to make way for it and it did then the Syrians build Grand Bazaar.
All I saying is it doh look right to me but I suppose when they open the thing we will know.

Ah lawd more traffick !!!
Is it me or does that whole thing seem overly complicated?
I agree that the design is complicated...the overpass we are seeing now is just the beginning..plenty to go still. I think the west-south overpass tho' goes to the left of the crossover ramp east-west, and flows into the south bound lane with those coming out of the Grand Bazaar who come around the roundabout... still to be built.
Can anybody confirm the number of lanes on the East-South ramp/flyover?
Yuh could'nt resist the temptation tuh bring in the racist politicing again eh? you and another member remind me of them conservative radio talk show host here in the U.S. every thing Obama do is never good enough for them! and it's all fueled by ill feelings, rather than political disatisfaction or partisanism!So 3 lanes runnin north-south, then 2 lanes of ramp traffic joinin that goin south, and they have to merge.

Well see what you want to see, but it's interesting how you equate being anti manning as being racist, as if one equals the other. You missed the point entirely if manning could justify taking the savannh for his diplomatic center, that he should have no problem justify moving grand bazzar/squatters to ensure the ramp had the correct bank/slope maintain traction. That is if T&T had the equivalent of an imminent domain law.

If it goin right, merging before the bridge, cars will not have much time to merge.
I feel it goin left of the support.
In any case it does look like it headin straight into the support.
There is traffic that is going to be coming from north (mount hope) , so who merges ?
The traffic coming off the fly over should not be the merging traffic since they have the row, so consider that.
Now I heard or read that there was a problem but I paid it no mind then but I can see a problem.
Originally when this fly over was proposed over 20 yrs ago the stag factory was supposed to go to make way for it and it did then the Syrians build Grand Bazaar.
All I saying is it doh look right to me but I suppose when they open the thing we will know.
Meh family was telling me the same thing, but then I was thinking manning take people savannah for he back yard, why he couldnot do the same and take the some of the mall land. Isn't bamboo goverment land that people squatting on???
Oh well only in trini you does know who you could mess with.
Well see what you want to see, but it's interesting how you equate being anti manning as being racist, as if one equals the other. You missed the point entirely if manning could justify taking the savannh for his diplomatic center, that he should have no problem justify moving grand bazzar/squatters to ensure the ramp had the correct bank/slope to maintain traction. That is if T&T had the equivalent of an imminent domain law.
so what yuh want meh to think?
So what is your excuse???
Take some time do a little research and you would see I doh like Panday either or the present batch of T&T politicans, but I guess it too hard to click on previous posts and it is easier to pass your warped view as fact. I don't care what you think, just that you do it.
I see yuh have tuh resort tuh petty insults BC someone called yuh on yuh biasness! why not deal wid it with some sort of civility instead of being caty!!
i not saying that manning is ah saint, far be it from him, but he definatly didn't come and meet a rosey situation either, and despite constant literal negative opposition from the UNC leader he's been doing somewhat of an OK job! and for that he should be comended.
yuh must remember that T&T is seriously underdevelope and lacks proper infrastructure as we speak! and manning is doing something about it!
that's more than i could say of any other leader we've had over the yrs. so why not let it be instead of finding fault!
if this man was sitting idley by and doing nothing to improve the infrastucture of the state, then i would be more open to indulge opposition, but when a man tries to improve the deplorable condition of a country and ppl continue to nit pick over small simple things, to me it's clearly a sign of partisan politics @ work.
i'm in no wise a PNM supporter so there's no motive on my part to endorse manning, but @ the same time , i think ppl are being unfiar to the point where it's becoming rediculus!
for yrs ppl have lost valuable amounts of land due to eminent domain, and in some cases eminent domain did not apply. sad to say , but that the price we pay for progress! it don't come cheap my friend, to the citizens and the state!
BTW , i do think there's eminent domain equivalent laws on the books and it's active as far as i know! BC my great grand mother lose some land BC they wanted to build a road through her property.
That was not my intention. if yuh knew me then you would know that i don't mark ppl for anything unless i really pips they style! and that takes time.I see yuh have tuh resort tuh petty insults BC someone called yuh on yuh biasness! why not deal wid it with some sort of civility instead of being caty!!

You ask for civility yet in your initial response you call me a racist, to me that is an insult. On the matter of progress, I am in support of the fly over and I also in support of the relocating grand bazzar and bamboo if that is what it takes to properly construct the fly over, what I am not in support of is the fact that some people with money seem to be able to resist more than those other. I may have been rash in jumping to this conclusion because as a previous post indicated real-estate was taken from the grand bazzar compound. But is not what you take away from my posts, no all you saw was anti manning and that automatically made me a racist to me that is disrespectful.
Respect is giving to those that give it.
Should T&T add a toll booth to the Uriah Butler Highway, north to south and south to north ?
Would this help ease traffic. It could also help public transportaion and water taxis make more money. The money made would help maintain the roads in T&T. And also create some employment.
It don't have to be much. A simple $1 for cars and $2 for trucks over a year could add up. And if people buy an easy pass they would get a discount of 50 cents per-dollar.

That was not my intention. if yuh knew me then you would know that i don't mark ppl for anything unless i really pips they style! and that takes time.
there was no where in my responce did i say you are a racist, what i said was "yuh couldn't resist the temptation tuh bring in the racist politicing again eh".
what i mean't tuh say is that politics in T&T has become more racist and less politically oriented. i didn't mean tuh say "you" were racist, but this UNC PNM nigger coolie politics in trinidad is just that! and it has nothing tuh do with the issues! that's why the counrty is in such a mess. no commitment to what is right!
okay well the west-south overpass will be open on Friday. whew!
let's see how it will impact the traffic from Monday. I am guessing there will be some confusion with the southbound losing their lane- which will now be the far left instead of previously far right- as usual the few of me heading west-north will be caught in between those going south and occupying everybody else's lane. shucks! it sucks to be a minority... :(

just saw that.. the driving lanes from west to east merges and that is ah mess. and if you want to go grand plaza from west, dont get on the fly over, there is no exits. the whole thing look a mess but it doing it main purpose of easing traffic... Look at the Car @ 1:19. Please tell me they going to install traffic lights there, or the ministry looking for some rel accidents on that flyover
Thanks for that babalawo.
Tell me if I right.... Is it a ttraffic Light I seeing after the overpass going South when you come off the ramp? :o
Also. Why the road moves to the left to continue going East? I thought they should have kept the highway straight instead of making man swing to the left around a curve to continue going East. That really seem like accident waiting to happen.
Very good job on the flyover :applause: :applause:http://www.youtube.com/v/ujCSujYB6wM

All that really need is some good signage. The signs need to be ahead of what about to come so you could anticipate what lane you need to be in.
Also, you still seeing some interesting choices being made by other drivers. All the signs and flyover in the world not going to help with accidents if people still driving like ass.
At what point does the flag become a driving hazzard. From the angle of the video could not tell how close to the road. Some strong rain and wind could potentially rip a flag to shreds onto a unsupecting motorist, hopefully if the weather is bad enough to do that no one is crazy enough to be on the road.yea that flag there is unnessary.

i must be missing something cause it don't look that hard to me...
if you going south then you get in the left lane for the exit to go over the flyover..
if you going east stay in the center lane and stay center lane or left lane to proceed as normal..
if you going grand bazaar, then go in the right lane after you pass the flyover..
kinda sound like some ah allyuh tripping over allyuh self to find fault. Man talking about the flag could buss up and cause ah accident all kinda ting.. steups.
i waiting to hear a review from somebody who actually drive on it..

I don't think the flag is a permanent fixture..it may just have been a little flare for the opening ceremony..From the pictures in the newspaper the flag appears to be flying from the extended arm of a crane attached to a truck. So I guess when they need their crane/ truck back they will ditch the flag. Maybe they could give it to Jack Warner to use in our matches instead of that handkerchief them little boys does be walking out with.

I went to Grand Bazaar yesterday and it real simple like Omar says. My only thing was the 3 lanes that were originally used to go South/Chaguanas were still clearly marked as 3 lanes. However, when you make the right turn at the traffic light, there are 2 lanes not 3. So I found my self in the innermost lane but I had no lane to exit into when I made my turn. However, I realised that was going to happen so on the green light I just mash accelerator before everybody else and take the outermost lane before the driver next to me.
If the intention is to have 2 lanes now going to Grand Bazaar instead of three like before, then they need to close off that 3rd lane and make it 2.
But the thing not hard to negotiate man, they just need to get rid of the traffic lights by El Socorro and Aranguez and that will eliminate a lot more of the back up.
How is it going West-to-East? I think that's where most of the concern was coming out of seeing that video.

West to East is not difficult. Here's what happens. Coming out of Aranguez, you have to start driving in the outer most left lanes if you know you are going South/Chaguanas. Every body else stays on the right. Then when the South people start entering the "off ramp" to go up onto the fly over, every one else just starts to take up their respective lanes. If you are going East, occupy the left lanes just like before. If you are going Bamboo/Grand Bazaar, take up the right lanes just like before.
The only problem I see, and that is probably just in the initial stages, is that people from South may be so used to occupying the outermost right lanes that they forget and then decide at the last minute that they need to be in the left lanes.
Also, they need to put up some signs advising which lanes to occupy upon aproaching the fly over/intersection. I don't recall seeing any yesterday when I passed by so right now you have to make a mental note to decide on which lanes you are going to take depending on where you are going.
I hope I eh confuse yuh Bakes....
lol organic it musbe have nice breeze up there too.
Just now ppl will park up and crack open some Vat 19.
Ok trinis is de worst. real neve see come see shit
People parking up at the top of the fly over to take of pictures. five, six cars at a time steups.

Ok trinis is de worst. real neve see come see shitOnly 5 or 6? When we pass there on Saturday it had plenty people liming on the overpass. Not even taking pictures, just liming as if is the look over point on North Coast Road.

At the end of the day whoever say between El Socorrow and Aranguez will still be a problem is correct.

Ah, Babalawo, see you listen to Blink 182 also.nah. that a random video i found on youtube
Trust me, I wasn't saying that the interchange hasn't impacted positively on the flow south or east from the Grand Bazaar intersection, just that it is only one part of a bigger situation. Oddly enough, I was able to make sense of your description. 8)yes but at least they dont have to suffer after passing the aranguez lights, esp the people who going east. Dem south men used to go up on the east lanes and block it whilst waiting to cut in on the rest of people on the south lanes awaiting their turn. (hope the wording makes sense )

Edit:
I just checked and it was Fishs who first raised concerns....would be nice to get some idea as to exactly what happened to determine if is really a problem with the flyover or just some idiot just driving wild, wild and dotish as usual....

it seems to me that disproportionate number of thoe killed on the roads happen to be of East Indian descent.
Am I wrong?
I don't know where she got it from, but my mom was fairly insistent that once I sat in the front seat of the car I had to wear a seat belt. Once you were under 11 you did not ride in the front seat and once in the back you couldn't lean forward between the 2 seats to talk or look out front or whatever.
Between that and living in the US for a while I've developed quite a few habits for road safety here. I've occassionally dropped my roommate's 5-year old or son or just taken him for a drive. He has to sit in the back seat and wear the seatbelt. He can't use the shoulder harness because it cuts across his neck and that is a concern for me. I've asked a relative of mine to locate the "thing" that allows the shoulder harness to fit smaller people. When I travel in the front seat of any vehicle, including taxis and maxis, I wear the seatbelt and in vehicles that are equipped with them I also strap up in the backseat.
There is no concept of road safety. Between my job and extra curricular activities I'm on the road a lot and I say my prayers regularly. Men changing lanes over solid white lines, tail gating at high speeds, swerving in and out of traffic, travelling at high speeds in dense traffic and just showing no respect for life - their own or others. That typical, "I is a borse driver, dat cyah happen to me" attitude will add plenty more fatalities to that 222 before the year done. Imagine in this day and age men still spending hours by the bar to just jump in their car to drive home after.
It's called a seat belt adjuster, can find at stores like toys r us in the baby section, and babies r us. it's on Amazon too, about $10.
http://www.amazon.com/Safe-Fit-Seat-Belt-Adjuster/dp/B000OR5JBE/ref=pd_cp_ba_2
Think, I've seen it at Walmart in the auto section too. I use one because the belt always cuts across my neck no matter how I adjust it.

The other day, I was waiting on the light by Ellerslie Plaza to turn green so I could turn right and drive towards Kapok and the Savannah. When the light eventually did turn green, not one, not two, not three, but FOUR cars all ran the red light!!!....not even the sight of a 25 seater red band maxi blocking their path in one of the two lanes stopped them!!....good thing ur safe. defensive driving other than aggressive driving is the way to go
So with that in mind and in reference to this story....sssttteeeuupppsss!!!.....NEXT!!!!...

breds, ah cyah get on to d link
Okay......who cyah hear.... :-\
Assrancid brought up a very interesting point about ethnicity and the correlation with fatal accidents.
Is this a random thing?
Is it a demographic thing?
Is it because this group can afford a car?
Is it because this group has the disposable income to "hot up" their ride?
Is it because this group can afford to go party and be out at this time of night/early morning when these accidents occur?
Is it because this group has to travel further and spend more time on the road?
Is the culture of alcohol consumption more prevalent amongst this group?
Something to observe and investigate.

not true. especially not for that size highway.Yuh see this is the kinda thing does piss me off....dem in power how long now and he only NOW realise what must be done to help curb the deaths by accidents on the highway??!!....steups....
exactly, in US and other countries u HAVE to put barriers in place on major highways.
so then u saying don't put barriers then?no. not that. jus don't make we out to be so backward. when we really right there right now. good move T&T.
what i meant was why wait so long to put barriers? was not making out the country to be backward. Is years it happening, accidents all over the place, now they will do it?, especially election time? was agreeing with Brown sugar statement.
How them cars bend up so? They driving that fast or are the cars built with cheaper materials? It looks like those cars need higher safety standards.

Next thing you will be doubting that he leave a fete to go home to "feed dogs" at 3.00 in the morning, before dropping her home. Them dogs obviously couldn't survive the extra 2 hours it woulda take to go Central and come back.
But I digress. Again, my condolences.

ha lord,,allyuh eh easy in here
but to stay on topic..I eh know if is the size or curvature of we light standards but t&t is de only place I know where car does wrap completely around pole on a regular basis
since I is a lil boy , yout men huggin rx-2 and cortina around poles with precision
Dutty,
you ent lying. It seems that as soon as them cars enter TT like the water does make them soft. The cars does twis-up, ben-up and split-up, when they get in accidents.
Well peeps who know more that me....How hard is it to
1. Give out serious speeding tickets?
2. Profile certain cars that appear to be supped up. Check them and then charge them if needed.
No more speeders on public roads
After to or three of these events take away their license and seize the car.
How fast you have to be going for your car to almost disintegrate? I gyah go nowhere in Minneapolis and speed like that at 3am in the morning and not get pulled over.
Trinidad playing the fool oui.
more and more yuh seeing them foreign used welded chassis cars...breaking apart in accidents and thing...
So many cars on the road are nowhere near road worthy!
How them cars bend up so? They driving that fast or are the cars built with cheaper materials? It looks like those cars need higher safety standards.ill say both. car look like plastic. made light weight for racing
Mangled human bodies or mangled automobiles are not going to deter or curb the driving habits of individuals in TnT... has not in the past and it does not seem likely in the future...
what dat fellah who teef de car was seriously speeding...air bags AND air curtains deployed and de man still dead
what dat fellah who teef de car was seriously speeding...air bags AND air curtains deployed and de man still dead
I don't think it takes a lot for the bags and curtains to deploy... had a collision right across from me about three weeks ago and same thing happen, Beamer and a Murano and the Nissan full curtains deployed... not a whole lot of structural damage. But yeah, I agree that fella had to be speeding in order to pin the car against the wall. That mean he push that car from the street up onto the sidewalk and against the wall. Would be interesting to know if Sabga was wearing his seatbelt... which direction he was travelling, East to West or West to East. Might help explain the injuries.
yeah its just a sensor that deploys them...what I meant was in most cases people tend to be hurt rather than die when 'cocooned' in front, side and head air bags.
Dah fella go have it hard.
Anybody hear wha happen afterwards to de young gyal dat kill a police officer last year speeding on de shoulder?
She trial done yet?
bakes watch the pics of the BMW closely..it was hit on the driver's side and pinned against the wall at the corner..that is why yuh see the damage on the left side. The damage on the left is a sharp angle due to the corner wall
Dah fella go have it hard.

U should ask if it start.

Government half responsible for the carnage on the roads in TnT... how in the world, in this day and age are cars still crossing the median on a highway?
steups
The Old Southern Main Road is a highway?
Regardless. The speeds people are driving at are not appropriate for the road conditions. Period.
You could drive on plenty country roads (dual carriageway with a grass ditch median) in America at highway speeds with not a jersey barrier in sight. And just like in T&T if you drive like an idiot, you could cross the "highway" and kill someone.
All the signs and barriers and safety measures didn't stop a woman from getting onto the taconic state parkway the wrong way a couple years back and killing 8 people

No amount of barriers helping to stem the wild, reckless driving. Since it is apparent that people cannot take responsibility for themselves on the roadways a better approach would be to come up with a solution to better patrol the highways, and establish a more visible presence so that people will think twice.
As for the government responsibility and the cables.. Imagine after how much years in government, it take till April 2010 for Imbert to start a move on this:

Look allyuh favorite former Minister of Transport made it a priority of his ministry to construct cable dividers on the Solomon Hochoy, because in his own words the amount of people dying from crossing the median over the years has been obscene.

Last time I drove down south late last year they were in the process of installing them, don't know where that reach with that now. Can anyone say?
Agreed that this could have been dealt with a long time ago. The past administration really drag their foot with this. I remember the Freeport intersection where a huge number of fatal accidents always take place, a simple thing like putting up a massive "Sharp Bend - Slow Down" sign take years to happen.

War, you would know the parents of those kids, the Beddoe and the Rawlins family.
The Beddoe brothers played with We Block , i think is two brothers children .
I also run ball with Grassroots senior team but i run with men like Moze ,Harry and sappat i dont know if you was around that time .
Why it look like somebody print up ah Google map and break out dey red pen? LOL, Trinidad good yes :rotfl:
That doesn't make a whole lot of sense for kids who attend Newtown Boys and Girls, QRC and
Woodbrook Sec. and especially those who rely on public transportation.

Yeah I give him that..he trying. But consultation shoulda be held. And trinis too blasted lawless....yuh go allow parking on one side and it go STILL have problems cause of how everybody feel it eh against the law if it eh have a police dey.
Given the volume of traffic, it would have concerns...you cant please everyone. But....the best thing to do is interact with stakeholders to get a workable solution that would have everyone able to benefit somehow.
There have been daily announcements on TV and radio this week. But I find that there is too much to take in. Tragarete and Ariapita are ok, it's when they start going on about every single connecting road that confuses me. Some are one way west and then change to one way east etc. Still, I think it's good that you can't park along Ariapita at certain times of the day.
Had to laugh at some protesters and taxi drivers complaining about people having to walk. With all due respect, I find Trinis want to be dropped right outside their destination. As opposed to many towns and cities in the world where public transport systems exist and you may have to walk half a mile from the bus stop or tube station. I know its hot here, and it gets very wet, but other nations cope with extreme climates.
I always laugh (or cuss, if I'm driving) when I see a maxi stop right on a corner of a busy junction to let someone off, and then stop on the other side of the junction to let someone on. Could never understand why bus stops are not created??
Although the West Port of Spain Experimental Traffic Scheme was, undoubtedly, very successful in reducing traffic congestion and travel times along the main routes leading to and from the Port-of-Spain central business district, as was its primary objective, it appears to the Ministry that some of the resulting negative side effects outweigh the benefits that were gained.

Daiz alot of bread Deeks....
I drive from Arima to Port of Spain everyday and i work downtown, if there is a reliable train service available I will probably go from 5 to 1 day a week driving once the weather is good.
Longer lifespan for my car, i won't hesitate to buy property further east or south given the ease of commute.
This cannot come fast enough.

Fixed it for you.
It's all about improving the flow of traffic/people along the entire corridor. Upgrading the CRH to a full grade separated freeway is all well and good and I applaud it but building more roads will not solve the problem either. There needs to be an increase in the use of a safe and efficient public transit system. That option must be available to the people if there is to be a decrease in car ridership.
I've seen mentioned in the a newspaper a comparison by minister Cadiz with New York which is outrageous. A better comparison would be with Lausanne, Switzerland which has a population of ~ 300,000 and has a metro system or Rennes, France. Still a tricky comparison but much better in terms of scale. I believe the E/W has a population of ~ 600,000-700,000 so that's a good amount of people and if we could get at least 50% train ridership that could make a difference.
Buses could be used both on the PBR and separately to shuttle passengers to nearby stations in local communities.
Lol Deeks I sorta like transportation too much.
Lol Deeks I sorta like transportation too much.
I see that. I myself have this love for trains. I live part of by boyhood in St.Joseph, Tunapuna and Five Rivers. I talking about the 60s. So we used the train on the EW corridor regularly. People used to take the train for granted. Lots of people did not used to pay. As this was more a communter rail than metro, people used to dodge the ticket guards to avoid paying. The TTR was losing money big time. But the rail service was already winding down while the Brits were still at home. Road transport was increasing. I was also told that the businesses that controlled the vehicular mode of transportation encouraged the then PNM govt to ditch the rail for bus and taxsi. Neal and Massey and Amalgamated were the big assembly plants. It created employment for plenty mechanics, welders, painters, upholsterers, electricians. I worked at PTSC assembley plant tool room, before coming up to the states. Then came Trinity motors and Amars motor empire. Cars, Cars, cars. That is how it ended up like this.

we had a train system and pnm took it away, so this is no new idea, the question is will they ever do it and talk is cheap...
if PP gets re elected they should build it or if the baliser boys and girls return, because the nation needs it and individual praise or praise for a certain party is not important, the citizens needed this a while ago...
