To date 177 persons have died on our roads. Target #BELOW300. What can we do urgently to make a difference? Internationally #safesystems: #saferoads will help. #safespeeds will help. #safevehicles will help. #saferoadusers - in that context RTA and Ticketing are important.
Just concluded a meeting with #NRSC Chairman @AndrewHolnessJM. Reports from Minister Chang and Minister Montague indicate that progress has been achieved with both the new RTA and the Ticketing System. However neither of them is likely to be operational until late 2020.

Couldn't agree with her more. Good point. Old habits, bad driving habits, not wearing a helmet, driving recklessly, die hard. And under resourcing of the road safety infrastructure eg The delay in the implementation of the new RTA needs to be addressed. #NRSC
Executive Director of the National Road Safety Council, Paula Fletcher, says while road fatalities have declined as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the nation shouldn’t get complacent.
