Govt moves to tackle traffic chaos amid public transport indiscipline

​Transport officials and police have agreed to review traffic routes around Constitution River to relieve congestion, even as authorities slam the high level of lawlessness shown by both public service vehicle (PSV) operators and passengers.

​The decision follows mounting complaints from the Alliance Owners of Public Transport about traffic jams near the River Terminal, particularly around Nursery Drive and Charles Duncan O’Neal bridge. The government confirmed it is preparing to reopen traffic access to Nursery Drive, across from Queen’s Park, to help vehicles enter the terminal more smoothly.

​Addressing the situation, the Minister of Transport Kirk Humphrey acknowledged that while the government is willing to consider structural changes to the road network, physical alterations alone will not solve the deeper problems on the island’s roads.
