Dear Editor,
It is with great concern that I write about the intersection at the Demerara Harbour Bridge and the East Bank Public Road. This area has been the scene of numerous accidents, some fatal.
Speeding is an issue here as well. In the mornings, there is a traffic police who directs traffic for a period but there is the ensuing confusion, with commuters late for work, because of the sometimes bully-driving for the road. It because dangerous and frustrating if you try to get across from the Demerara Harbour Bridge to the East Bank Public Road or vice versa. One time a friend, once told me in colloquial terms “you have to get belly to cross over.”
On March 30, 2011, an horrific accident occurred at the junction of the Demerara Harbour Bridge and the East Bank Public Road and this one claimed the life of 23-year-old Vishram Lall of 217 Herstelling, East Bank Demerara and resulted in injuries to three other passengers.
This has been a calamity area for years and years and I really can’t see why it’s not looked into.
It is a fact that traffic lights control the flow of the traffic making it easier for drivers and safer for pedestrians (especially those using the pedestrian crossing at the East Bank Public Road). They reduce the risk of accidents and they lower the chances of traffic jams, etc.
The vehicles which form lines to the bridge can use the western side of the road to park at Peters Hall.
