Enforce traffic laws

Letters

WE still have vendors selling on the streets especially in between traffic lights.
Traffic laws forbid people from conducting illegal activities on the road which police should be enforcing.
Those responsible are turning a blind eye to this.
This along with road safety and the adherence of traffic laws must become a top priority for the police and other relevant government agencies.
Apart from street vending it seems motorists are defying traffic regulations by driving over the median that divide the city roads.
In some cases, PMV buses are making dangerous U-turns in places where they are not supposed to be turning and vehicles are being parked at unauthorised locations or even on the pavements in public venues.
One area that has lost all credibility of being a city road is the traffic light area at the Waigani/Tokarara Junction.
So many things going wrong there – you have the pedestrians running in between cars to cross, then you have the vendors selling their products and yes opportunist hang around the area ready to pounce on unsuspecting vehicles.
The practice of vending in between vehicles at traffic lights must be discouraged or we will have deaths recorded either a hit-and-run or a hold-up gone wrong and must not be condoned by the relevant government authorities.
Improvements in traffic law enforcement should be part of an integrated road safety policy that should reduce deaths and injuries when applied.
