Dear Editor,
I wish to bring to the attention of the Police (Traffic Department) through your medium that there are continuous traffic jams with long lines from morning to evening up to 8:00 on Bush Road, Illidge Road and near Afoo Supermarket at Philipsburg. The bottlenecks are at Bush Road Auto Depot, Illidge Road roundabout by Fargo NV and Afoo Supermarket near Super Plaza, Philipsburg.
We are in Christmas and New Year shopping seasons and motorists are not happy with the Police not monitoring the situation. It simply needs one Officer at each place to monitor and guide the motorists.
The taxpayers are being punished by waiting for hours in traffic and this is the time of the year that Police are supposed to show their gratitude towards taxpayers by making their life easier and shopping around pleasant.
The roads are already in horrible conditions and nothing is being done and it is too late for the authorities to do anything. At least Police can do something to make life easier. Business people and civil servants toil and work hard during the day and when returning home have to wait for hours in traffic, causing frustration, anger and waste of fuel and time.
This is a small island and tourists come here to have a nice, pleasant holiday and are wondering how the authorities and Police are unable to manage the simple traffic situation.
I trust that by this letter Police will wake up and do the needed.
Robert Weaver
