San Pedro Needs Better Traffic Control  

If you visit San Pedro and need to get around during the lunch hour, you’d probably reach your destination quicker if you walk. The traffic in San Pedro has gotten so congested with an overabundance of vehicles and golf carts that the San Pedro Twon Council and the area representative have sought the assistance of the Ministry of Transport to solve the problem. Today, Minister Ferguson said the Transport Department will come up with a plan to address that issue.

“I was in San Pedro last week, likewise Caye Caulker, and I see the chaos in San Pedro with the amount of traffic, and so we are trying to come up with a plan to present to Cabinet how we can mitigate and reduce the amount of traffic in San Pedro because if I was a tourist, I’d never visit San Pedro because it’s too much traffic. So I’m hopeful that once it works, then you’ll see the results.”

“But it’s a problem. I understand it’s a traffic problem, but it’s also a volume problem. They have too many, too much heavy equipment, too much golf carts, too much vans, too much, too many vehicles.”

“Soon we will ask for a moratorium on golf carts. So you can only maybe replace the one that you have. We have to bring any additional group because it’s too consistent.”
