Vendors, get off the road!

I HAVE been writing about the same issue almost every three months.
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.
We understand there is a law in the book (against selling on the street) but the police are not doing anything.
Apart from street vending it seems motorists are defying traffic regulations by driving over the median that divided 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.
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.
