🚗 National Roads Authority urges drivers to prioritize safety

The National Roads Authority (NRA) has expressed deep concern over the unsafe misuse of lanes by drivers in Grand Cayman, particularly in the Savannah and Newlands area. Officials have noted a worrying trend of motorists using the left lane to bypass traffic on Rex Crighton Drive, leading onto Hirst Road. This behavior not only disrupts the flow of traffic but also poses a significant safety risk to everyone in the area, especially children. The traffic police unit is monitoring the area and will enforce legal consequences for reckless driving. The NRA has urged motorists to be more considerate and contribute to a safer driving environment. 🚨

Additionally, the NRA has cautioned drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists to exercise extreme caution on the Linford Pierson Highway due to ongoing construction work. Despite the partial completion of the new eastbound lane, construction is still in progress. NRA Director Edward Howard emphasized that safety is their top priority and urged motorists to reduce their speed when passing through the construction zone. The NRA also advised cyclists and pedestrians to use Agnes Way as a detour, as it provides a safer and more accessible route until the construction project is completed. 🚧
