Barbados Sure As Hell Needs More Pavements
Barbados Sure As Hell Needs More Pavements
One thing that I really hate about Barbados is the island wide lack of pavements. It is a crazy situation; even on extremely busy fast moving roads there are no pavements.
I find the lack of pavements in Barbados an extremely dangerous situation and have felt like my life was in danger on many occasions when I have been forced to walk on certain roads. If you have to walk on busy roads after 6pm after it starts to get dark things get real scary.
I personally came close to being hit by a speeding crazy bus driver when I was forced to walk along a stretch of road past Oistins a few weeks ago and that was during the day. The picture above shows a woman with 2 kids trying to negotiate a stretch of road where there are no pavements and believe me there were lots of cars flying past her.
Something drastic needs to be done in Barbados to deal with this dangerous situation. The public in Barbados deserve much better and hopefully David Thomson who has the makings of one of becoming one of the best Prime Ministers of Barbados will start taking positive action in the near future.
Being forced to walk on the roads in Barbados because of the lack of pavements is almost like a death wish. I would love the Barbados Government to make it public knowledge as to how many innocent lifes have been lost because of this crazy situation.
