MEMBERS of the Parliament's Land and Physical Infrastructure Joint Select Committee (JSC) questioned whether there are co-ordinated policies or strategies to deal with traffic management in TT. They posed these questions to representatives of the police, Works and Infrastructure Ministry and Civil Aviation and Transport Ministry's during a public hearing at the Cabildo Building, Port of Spain on January 7.

JSC vice-chairman and Housing Minister David Lee said many members of the public question why traffic exercises undertaken by the police and the Licensing Division often take place during peak traffic times during the morning and afternoon. He added many people believe this is done "to frustrate the travelling public."

Lee said an example of what he is referring to happened "this morning on the Beetham (Highway)."
