Speed humps to be installed at Cross Crossing to prevent street racing

Postby Duane 3NE 2NR » March 4th, 2021, 3:01 pm

Broke this out from the original accident thread here
viewtopic.php?f=4&t=760417

Trinidad Guardian - Burger cart owner Arnaldo Ramjitsingh wants to know why the police have not arrested the drag racer who ploughed into Ramjitsingh’s burger cart last Saturday, setting it on fire and leaving him injured. 

Ramjitsingh of Marabella was flung from the cart upon impact.

He suffered injuries to his chest, back and hands and was treated at the San Fernando General Hospital before being discharged. 

Speaking to Guardian Media, Ramjitsingh said he was astonished that nobody had been charged and the vehicle was never impounded.

Bystanders, who witnessed the incident have already come forward to give statements to the police, who were expected to return to the scene of the accident on Tuesday afternoon.

Ramjitsingh said the Cross (Cross Crossing in San Fernando) was usually busy especially on weekends yet drag racers have been racing in the strip between the two traffic lights.

“I saw on Facebook people asking whether they were drifting this weekend. I do not understand why people will be so reckless as to endanger others, including children in a public space. Something has to be done about this,” Ramjitsingh said.

He added, “The police must put a stop to this. Leave drag racing as a sport. It is not to be done on the street where there are innocent bystanders.”

He also called on the government to provide proper drag racing facilities for southerners so they will not drag race on the nation’s streets.

Ramjitsingh said he had friends who participated in professional drag racing.

Vehicles used for professional drag races are never driven on the nation’s roads but are towed to the racing tracks, he said.

“The people who do drag racing professionally are not reckless. When they are driving on the road they drive under the speed limit. But here we have reckless people who want to drift and behave recklessly on the road. Something has to be done about it,” he added.

He called on the police to do more patrols at the Cross to stop people from using the area as a drag strip.

Meanwhile, Ramjitsingh’s fiancé Jineal Chichester said she saw four drag racers speeding before one of them crashed into Ramjitsingh’s burger cart, throwing him out the window. She said she was nursing their three-week-old baby at the time and when she saw the fire blazing near the three gas tanks, she quickly handed the baby to someone and drove her car away from the fire, before rushing Ramjitsingh to the hospital.

Chichester said she too found it strange that nobody was charged. She called on Police Commissioner Gary Griffith to look into the matter.

Meanwhile, San Fernando Mayor Junia Regrello said they were aware that drag racing was being done at the Cross at nights. He said after a meeting with Traffic Management teams, a decision was taken to install speed humps at the Cross to stop any form of reckless drag racing.

There are ready two humps there.

The situation at Lady Hailes has gotten out of control, ppl park badly, ppl stand waiting for food with their back to the road and there is too much traffic.

They need to recess the vendors closer to the trees, install bollards, have proper pedestrian pathways, car parking and TOILETS.

Increase police presence at night since its a popular and congested area, and put concrete barriers
What if a regular driver just loses control, still would cause the same damage

if that is along the Rienzi Kirton stretch from Ruth Avenue to Cipero Road, and not Lady Hailes, the traffic will be some of the worst in the country if this happens

No humps needed. Two/three big potholes and this nonsense go stop.

On another note,I was pondering.Since I was a child growing up in La Romain, the Cross has been synonymous with illegal street racing.Those food places opened there because of the late night crowd, not so? And since the area getting attention from Foodie Nation etc, more food carts coming in.Not that I defending illegal street racing, but what they really expecting to happen or not happen? Thats the equivalent to people squatting on a river bank and then complaining about flood.
Makes no sense to me.

Other thing is, what is the legality of those carts?Are they in a designated area for food vending?If it is a designated business area, doesn't the usual parking regulations apply?

Sorry for all injured , but are they really supposed to be where they were? Street racer could have wrapped around a light pole for all I care,so that not my concern.

I think ppl misunderstood what happened. This was not any neck to neck drag racing on Rienzi Kurton Hway. This was on Lady Hailes Avenue, cars waiting for a light to change, delaying so that there is no one in front of them, dropping the clutch and burning out from a standstill. It was barely 50m distance.

It is possible to fishtail and lose control and that is what happened there. No speedhumps could solve that because you will have to do that on every traffic light in T&T.

It is a designated food truck area by the San Fernando City Corp but they need to put more infrastructure to manage the pedestrians and cars there because it is getting out of hand.

well I am no fan of the mayor, but anybody who daily traverses the area and knows that massive work is ongoing from the said traffic light to the Wharf on Lady Hailes. They need to continue the work on this side of the traffic light.

prevention is better than cure. the goal is to lower excessive speeding. not to have speeding and collect revenue.

very preedyn very nice. one u leave that area, the traffic then has to exit via gulf city lights, via link road, or by cross crossing, where u can either go up cipero street onto the by pass or through cipero road which is one lane either direction, very narrow, constrained by many business that have people exiting and entering,(think ariapat ave, with one lane both up an down) and riddle with some of the worst pot holes the country has.
the reason why they have so much traffic is becuase the exit points are severely limited.

so the water front will look nicer at least.

but according to that cgi, when the people pass to come to work and leave to go back home, the routes will be unused again.
at least backfill a 150ft strip and make it into another activity center. u put ur food carts, parking smooth paved area for people to do activities. recreate a night life scene, like st james or marabella stretch.

u done spend a sheit tonne of money, might as well get some more value for it.

Wow smash, always on the cusp of ignorance.

It is one part of a larger project incorporating all the things you ingeniously came up with there. It creates connections to Rushworth St and Ruth Ave thus reducing the traffic at the bottlenecks. A while you are myopically thinking it must facilitate traffic out of Sando, it facilitates traffic within Sando, for the developments of the multistory car park, 1000 apartments by PTSC grounds, boardwalk and other businesses.

Also while Cipero Rd isn't the smoothest road in the country, all the potholes are patched, to embellish that it has the worst in the country is an attempt to deceive.

Nice try at finding fault though, even ZR couldn't do that.

traffic IN sando is not much of a problem. its getting in and out of sando thats the problem. thats east and north from marabella to sando tech interchange, at the ciepro road, and the rest fo the bypass down to gulf.

its nice, to get from one traffic choke point to the other traffic choke point in style.

all those potholes are always patched. the patches gets opened back when the big trucks pass and rain falls and settles.

its just a matter of fixing that whole road, but rohanee say them aint have road money, not even patch money. but ur spending money to build highway in the forest to access a port thatnobody want and hardly anybody will use.

Question is how much delays and bobol this going cost.

Red government has habit of high cost overruns and underperformance.
