Port-of-Spain Mayor Louis Lee Sing has opined that the new traffic plan is a success. What is successful is the fact that the Western Main Road is free of traffic. Hooray. But where has the traffic gone? To minor roads. Roads that were not made for such heavy traffic and, also, which accommodates parking, parking which spills out on the corners, making it difficult for one to enter a street.
I am sure it would have been a better plan to make the streets north of the Western Main Road one-way, alternating one going north and the next going south etc. Similarly, the streets going east-west. I hope this would make somebody think.
