In the wake of continuing road deaths, the PNCR/APNU says it would establish a dedicated agency for traffic management and road safety if elected to office.
At a press conference on Friday, it said that the recent accident on Sheriff Street involving two sand trucks and which led to the death of electrician Carlton Smartt has yet again exposed the fact that the government has no urgency, no motivation and no plan to address the growing road carnage.
“This carnage continues to affect all our highways and all types of road users and vehicles: pedestrians, motorcycles, cars, minibuses, and trucks. The paltry measures on licensing and penalties the government announced (on Thursday) will have little impact and will not inspire any public confidence”, the party said.
