In a move to maintain tranquillity in  residential areas, trucks, articulated, and heavy-laden vehicles are now restricted from traversing narrow community streets.

Minister of Public Works, Juan Edghill, announced this measure during a meeting with councillors and residents of Lamaha Gardens on Friday while addressing their concerns about traffic disruptions, the Department of Public Information (DPI) reported.

“The ministry will put up signs that ‘no heavy vehicles, trucks, and articulated vehicles to go through the small community streets.’ We will reduce the speed limit and signs to that effect will be put up in conjunction with the Guyana Police Force,” Edghill announced.
