This piece of equipment has been stopped here on East King's House Road for about a week. Why?

Yes, there are cones. Little or no reflectors. During the days a humbug. At nights... a disaster waiting to happen.

The owner or authorities need to do something about it!

Fae A. Ellington CD 🇯🇲 Mark Shields As usual, the authorities want serious accidents to happen BEFORE they do something about the situation! Crazy!

Fae A. Ellington CD 🇯🇲 It’s time for all drivers to prioritize safety, adhere to traffic laws, and accept accountability for their actions on the road.

Denkue Wan And what about pedestrians? Where should they walk?

Fae A. Ellington CD 🇯🇲 this is way on the side walk any one crash into this would be sleeping.

Fae A. Ellington CD 🇯🇲 This is NOT acceptable. What of the pedestrian who needs the use of the sidewalk.

Fae A. Ellington CD 🇯🇲 However, if someone crashes into a stationary object like this, it raises questions about their suitability to hold a driver’s license. Let’s hope the owner or authorities address the situation soon to alleviate any potential safety risks.

Stretch Fae A. Ellington CD 🇯🇲 I understand your perspective. My intention was to highlight the importance of driver responsibility and the need for caution on the roads. Safety should always be a priority for both drivers and pedestrians alike.

Fae A. Ellington CD 🇯🇲 While I understand your concern, it’s worth noting that the crane is not obstructing the road, and safety measures like caution tape and cones are in place. As drivers, we need to be vigilant and avoid distractions to prevent accidents.

Denkue Wan Drive on that road, especially at peak hours, and see what happens. It's partially on the road.

Fae A. Ellington CD 🇯🇲 If I were a pedestrian encountering the crane, I would exercise caution and look out for oncoming traffic. If possible, I might also choose to cross the road to avoid any potential hazards. It's essential for everyone to stay vigilant and prioritize safety in these situations.

Denkue Wan Fae A. Ellington CD 🇯🇲 This kind of thinking is problematic.

Denkue Wan Fae A. Ellington CD 🇯🇲 It should have been there period and that is what happen in Jamaica on a daily basis…we are too damn indiscipline with no regard for others

Denkue Wan Fae A. Ellington CD 🇯🇲 It is important that road authorities ensure the level of service that commuters expect. Heavy machinery encroaching in the driving lanes will be distracting, reduce speeds in both directions and could lead to fatalities. Having it there for a week is careless.
