We are not putting down speed bumps ‘willy-nilly’– Hon Rymer
“I also just want to highlight that school has just started again, and we ask motorists to drive with caution. A lot of those schools are requesting speed bumps and various things to control the traffic. I hear the complaints about speed bumps, and I just want the public to know that there are 13 members in here and we have nine districts, and when a speed bump goes into a district, it is because a request has been made; whether by the District Rep or someone stating for the safety of that area,” Hon Rymer said during the continuation of the 11th Sitting of the 3rd Session of the Fourth House of Assembly on September 9, 2021.
“So I just want to highlight that speed bumps we are not just putting them down willy-nilly, but it’s because persons felt that it was necessary for the safety of residents and motorists alike.”
Steeper fines coming
Honourable Rymer also said steeper fines are coming for those who are violating the rules of the territory’s roads.
“I just want to make the motoring public aware of the amendments. We are working on some amendments for the Road Traffic Act. Mr Speaker, we have spoken about this, we have spoken about the nuisances, the loudness of the scooters, the loudness of vehicles even with the music, the exhaust.”
He added: “We are addressing those things in our amendment where we will have increased fines. We will also be hoping to equip the police officers with testers so that they can test the decibels that will be mandated by law, and fines will be attached to that.”
Honourable Rymer said he was, as a consequence, beseeching all to get their vehicles, scooters in order but also promised to have public dialogues on the content of the proposed amendments to the legislation.

Please give Vino a better photo of you. You are much more handsome than pictured in that photo.
Leave the gentle man alone. Stop it. He is fearful and wonderful made by God.
Stop putting those speed bumps and find another way. Ticket them all who speed.
Another way you can make people aware that you have put down speed bumps is by using small side lights on each end especially when they are not painted.
Loud can't even sleep when you want to. Why should you disturb me when you coming or going. Put down the speed bump. Please thanks
Can garden road from Rudys had is a joke. Pleased the changed the drains there a few years back as cars were hitting them and landing on their roof. There are no signed to warn you about the humps. Just find them one day 11pm in the rain and there you go new hump, concussed from the ramp which was poorly designed.
Ok people ask for them, but were asking for them to be removed. There are speed bumps outside a church in West end which is no longer there. They are not needed so remove them. Can you also fit the man hole covers also. The main drag from the Pub to the hosital has major 3 inch holes as no one finished the work off. Just insane the lask of respect for the motorists.
there is no visible presence of traffic police in this small community so drivers continues violating traffic regulations
reflective paint should be used on the public roads stop using such cheap paint: the center lines and other highways markings use reflective paint
paint speed bumps with good quality reflective paint which will make the speed bumps more visible
try installing lights on public road we in 2021 and with all the tourist money being collected the people up & down on dark roadways
