Police appeal to motorists during Green Valley Festival

Sergeant Carl Greaux
By: Carl Greaux, Press Release

    Basseterre, St. Kitts - As the premier community event in St. Kitts-Nevis, the Green Valley Festival has built a solid reputation as an annual event that highlights and advances the cultural and creative heritage of the villages ranging from Canada Estate to Ottley’s in St. Kitts. 

     

    With the Calendar of Events, starting Saturday (May 16) and ending on Monday (May 25), there will be a considerable increase in the amount of foot and vehicular traffic in the Cayon District - from Canada Estate to Ottleys Village - which could increase the risk of traffic accidents.
     
    In light of the above, the Police at the Cayon Police Station are asking the general public to adhere to these traffic safety tips in order to reduce the likelihood of the occurrence of traffic accidents.

    (1) Persons should drive cautiously when entering the Cayon District, because the said district will be congested during the events;
    (2) Persons may use alternative routes - that is less congested streets;
    (3) To ease congestion and reduce the likelihood of a traffic accident, persons attending these events should consider the use of public transportation or carpool;
    (4) Persons must avoid drinking and driving. Alcohol impairs a person’s ability to judge distance and speed and therefore increases the risk of an accident;
    (5) Persons must always wear seat belts and drive according to the road conditions and, at the same time, always within the speed limit;
    (6) Always look out for pedestrians and give them the right of way when crossing the road and never overtake at pedestrian crossings; and
    (7) Please avoid overtaking passenger buses that have stopped for passengers to disembark or, if you must do so, let it be done with extreme caution.
