“Beam me up Scotty”
On the topic of walkovers, while on my way to work this morning, I was stuck in traffic from Freeport to just past Chase Village because people slowing down to maco the protesters begging for their walkover. While I’m in agreement that this particular area probably does need one, I have come the sad realization that soon enough there would be a walkover at every 100 meter interval on every one of the nation’s highways. From Aranguez to heading west to Don Miguel Road, a stretch of less than 2 km, there are no less than 3 walkovers, not to mention the two traffic lights at which pedestrians still cross the 6 lane highway. The sad part is, people still continue to chance running across the highway rather safely take the walkover.
But if I were Minister of Works and Transport., I’d look at science fiction from the 60’s and some advances in quantum mechanics to create safer crossings for both pedestrians, handicapped or not, cyclists, pets and even motorists.
