Already for the year the Traffic Department of the Guyana Police Force has recorded 18 road deaths as compared to 20 for the same period last year.
However, according to Traffic Chief, Hugh Denhert, figures over recent years have shown that the East Bank Demerara Public road can be considered the country’s deadliest thoroughfare.
This, the Traffic Chief said, is as a result of that roadway being the main artery to the southern parts of Guyana as well as a secondary access path to West Coast and West Bank Demerara.
“The East Bank road is used by thousands of vehicles on a daily basis, travelling to our interior locations. There are also people who have taken up residency in new housing schemes which have been established,” Denhert noted.
He added that being one of the most frequently used thoroughfares and the only leading one into the capital city from the south, there is always a rush by commuters.
Hence the Traffic Department’s head said efforts are ongoing to monitor that thoroughfare. Some of these initiatives include increasing patrol on the Soesdyke/Linden Highway and along the East Bank Demerara during peak hours.
Already for the year the East Bank Road has claimed seven lives. In February, there were four fatalities.
