Morning traffic confusion in RT as RVIPF reroutes traffic without informing public
This has forced the Ministry of Education, Youth Affairs and Sports to demand of the RVIPF that the Ministry as well as the public is adequately notified whenever there are adjustments to traffic in the vicinity of schools.
The RVIPF headed by Commissioner Mark Collins has since apologised for this blunder.
‘No public advisory was issued’ by RVIPF
The Ministry in a statement today, September 11, 2023, said it became aware of an adjustment to traffic in the vicinity of the Elmore Stoutt High School that adversely impacted motorists.
“In recognising that Ministry officials were unaware, and no public advisory was issued, the Ministry immediately contacted the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) to ascertain why the traffic adjustments were made.”
It said the RVIPF has since notified the Ministry that this matter has been addressed.
The Ministry said it has requested that before any future adjustment is made to traffic in the vicinity of schools, both the Ministry and the public should be given adequate notification.
“This way, all stakeholders can properly prepare as they traverse the area.The Ministry apologises for any inconvenience caused this morning.”
RVIPF apologises
Meanwhile, the RVIPF has also issued a public apology.
“The RVIPF apologizes for the traffic delays experienced this morning, September 11, 2023, due to the temporary traffic rerouting for the school year's resumption.
“We understand the inconvenience and the need for further assessments to bring about a much smoother flow of traffic, where the public will be informed prior to any proposed traffic implementation. We appreciate your understanding, cooperation, and feedback. Your safety remains our top priority,” the RVIPF stated.

They only make traffic worse.
I personally think that at times you are deliberate with your actions as if your ulterior motive is to show us you are the Boss which you are NOT..
When you get away with this, that, and the other with any repurcussion , it will automatically become the NORM as far as you are concerned.
And by the way it is showing ABSOLUTELY no kind of RESPECT,to the people of this Territory.
It has become very essential that we begin to check How you are now doing things in the BVI. as well as the things you are willing to put us through.(That's my Honest Opinion., who feel hurt,......so be it.
Collins doing what he wants and then apologizeing time for this bulls*** stop he needs to go
