I just passed thru and I didn't see any police or signage anywhere. And, as I said before there will be no 'checkpoints' just checks along the route. A 'checkpoint' is a physical manned post. I hope that clears that up.

Picking up or dropping off anyone is not an issue, just leave the 3 canal or any other 'weapon' at home

Most of this info has already been posted on page 1 of this thread.

^^In every briefing session there has been variations in these times, but understand delegates begin arrival from the 15th so I'm sure you can figure out when to expect restrictions.

Also, Piarco Police are working with the close off time of 6:00am Tuesday 21st., not 12:00am on Monday 20th April. I have to work with their times.

Word of advice to all, with the Regional Security System (RSS) activated, the CARICOM forces (Police/Military) have been given the same powers as our local law enforcement officers. So try to avoid any unnecessary interaction if you know what I mean.

All delegates are expected out by the 19th. Straddlers are expected though.

Restrictions were expected to cease by Monday 12:00am, but the Piarco Police are claiming 6:00am on Tuesday.

OK. I've been hearing people saying so many different things, and read the notice on page 31 of today's Express that traffic restrictions start from April 17th. :?:

Also, it seems the notice has an error since it says the route reverts to normalcy on April 18th.

So does this now mean the restrictions from Piarco to the lighthouse do not commence from 12.01am on Thursday 16 April, since this was the impression I got from all I've been hearing and reading previously?
