(CMR) With a worrying trend where motorists use the left lane to circumvent traffic on Rex Crighton Drive, leading onto Hirst Road, the National Roads Authority (NRA) is calling on all drivers in Grand Cayman, especially those in the Savannah/Newlands area, to prioritize safety above all else.
The NRA is deeply concerned about the safety of residents and, most importantly, the children in this area, and emphasizes the critical importance of responsible driving practices and adherence to proper lane discipline.
This behavior not only disrupts the flow of traffic but also poses a significant safety risk to everyone in the area, the NRA said.
In response to this escalating safety issue, the Royal Cayman Islands Police Service (RCIPS) has been informed and is actively monitoring the area. Motorists who disregard safety and engage in reckless driving practices, such as using the left lane to circumvent traffic, will face legal consequences.
The NRA calls on all drivers to work collaboratively to create a safer, more respectful, and secure driving environment for all residents and, most crucially, for the children in this area. The NRA extends its heartfelt appreciation to the community of Grand Cayman, including property owners, for their cooperation in addressing this pressing safety issue.
“We urge everyone to be responsible, kind, and vigilant, particularly with regard to the safety of our residents and, most importantly, our children,” the NRA reiterated.
The National Roads Authority, within the remit of The Ministry of Planning, Agriculture, Housing and Infrastructure, and under the guidance of Hon. Minister Johany “Jay” Ebanks, is dedicated to improving road infrastructure and promoting responsible driving practices to ensure the safety and convenience of all road users in Grand Cayman and the sister Islands. It works collaboratively with government agencies, law enforcement, property owners, and the public to enhance the quality of our road network while prioritizing safety for all.
