Cant park there mate
Today. Not a word about this daily occurence.
Dont understand why W&E havent put up steel Armco road side railings on this stretch. Maybe its on private property in which case Coral Beach should step to the wicket and make that road edge a little safer. Just another example of our appauling road conditions.
I would not want the Bermuda stone wall and hedge outside my house replaced with a steel barrier, why would anyone else.
My suggestion is that people drive with care and respect. That will not stop the occasional accident due to damage caused by road conditions, but it should stop most single vehicle collisions.
Just paint the steel barrier to look like Bermuda stone. Hire a few street artists. Problem solved.
In this case the car was travelling East, i.e. it was supposed to be on the opposite side of the road. In theory, at least.
The roads are appalling though. The death-trap outside the Southampton Princess is still there. Badly signed, no lighting, been there for months, no progress.
There are lots of sections of road with no steel side railings – how about drivers learn to drive and STOP SPEEDING???!! What, you wants barriers everywhere??? It’s not hard to keep your car on the actual road when you are actually paying attention and following the rules of the road….
Sorry MADDOG. I have tried advocating the same thing. If falls on deaf ears.
Perhaps it’s time for the Bermuda Police Service to start enforcing traffic laws again.
Steel crash barriers are long overdue at many places ariund the island, just a little further east at the bottom of the hill is a prime example, but they are totaly unnecessary along straight sections of roads.
How people are driving off of straight sections of road is beyond understanding. Perhaps they are swerving to avoid potholes. The whole South Road has become an obstacle course these days better suited for rally racing than a road in a place that likes to call itself a prime tourist destination.
