      Where the taxis pick up people in front of the post office is so dangerous. I see people almost getting hit in the street where cars have to swerve around the taxis picking them up in an illegal pickup location every day. Some years ago they stopped this and now they are back to ignoring the law and picking up people in this dangerous location. Cops do not ticket the taxi drivers at all for stopping there. A police car should be parked right there and ticket all taxis that pick up people. The police should also tell people standing there to go around the corner to the bus stop. If no laws are enforced, people will do what they want, but they won't stand in front of the post office if the taxis won't pick them up. ENFORCE THE LAWS ALREADY, DAMN IT!

    Ask the Taxi to go to the taxi stand then and not park to the side of the Post office. Come around and ticket them because if you say they have a taxi stand then the busses should use it.

    Taxis are always parked between Infinity and the Post Office. They block traffic and park on the corner restricting the view of the emerging traffic. Please start ticketing and towing them too. I think taxi drivers are worse than scooters for the way they disregard the rules. They are professional drivers and ought to be held to a higher standard.

    You should also fine the people who pick up persons at the mouth of the round-a-bout and along that walk in front of the Post Office. Drivers are stopping the flowing traffic, by abruptly halting in the road/ waiting for passengers to get on or leave their vehicles. Whoever requires those services should stand at the area of the market bus stop/depot from being a nuisance to other commuters. Thank you!

    It’s time to take a stand. And while you’re at it, the No PARKING zone down at the OLD hospital needs to be addressed as well. All dem vehicles that park there daily along that white wall blocking up the traffic and making it difficult for drivers to pass need to be ticketed and towed away too. The laws are in the books, they just need to be enforced.

    what about all the parents stopping outside the high school to let kids out in the road rather then pulling into the drive way. Holding up traffic and also dangerous for the kids. They designed a drop off at the school. Use it and stop being lazy!

    This place is Lawless. Even when they make laws, they allow the people to break them.

    I already said it. Traffic violations could be our next pillar. And police don’t just ticket us ticket your off duty bros and people operating government vehicles from all departments. People STILL leaving government vehicles running while they go into stores,,restaurants, etc. and nobody in the cars. Our government claim they fighting climate change, but I wonder if some of us know that the exhaust from a car contributes to this?
