May I sug­gest that the Gov­ern­ment adds to its ar­se­nal of mea­sures to de­ter reck­less mo­torists–and pedes­tri­ans–a bet­ter sys­tem of sig­nage on our by­ways and in par­tic­u­lar our new­ly-con­struct­ed high­ways?Mod­ern high­ways de­mand sig­nage that al­low mo­torists, lo­cal and for­eign, a de­gree of con­fi­dence that dri­ving from point A to point B should be a walk in the park. Un­for­tu­nate­ly, many road signs in T&T are too close to turn off points, are too small and present a haz­ard to un­sus­pect­ing mo­torists.

May I al­so sug­gest that high­way sig­nage fol­low the ex­am­ple of de­vel­oped coun­tries and ex­hib­it clear, big and bold­ly let­tered signs that are lo­cat­ed at rea­son­able dis­tances from junc­tions etc, so as to al­low road users the abil­i­ty to ma­noeu­vre with­out them­selves be­com­ing haz­ards?
