MOWT needs to put up road signs of exactly that image and the "get in lane" at every roundabout in the country.

And when people are found guilty of flaunting these rules they must be made to go back to Regulations with their permits revoked until they can pass the exam

The way MOWT moving we have fancy new thing with no proper explanation.
Those painted triangles on the roundabout by tarouba
Those new painted yellow box intersection markings by Navet and Pleasantville lights
Those parallel broken lines that are painted approximately 2 feet apart that I can only assume to be some type of pedestrian crossing
Arrows attached to traffic lights that are orange (could be amber) but drivers behind you sounding they horn like if it green.

I say we arch confused with all these new sign and no proper explanation.



I will say that I inadvertantly "bad drive" a couple people in the past cause the sign was hidden behind a tree and I wasn't from the area and never been there before. Almost had a serious accident with someone turning the wrong direction onto a one way cause again; the driver wasn't from the area and didn't understand the sign he was looking at was a no entry sign without the actual written words (partially hidden by tree)

Just another "rule" or "law" for some of the drivers to disobey and for the police to not enforce

Test footage from one of my new G1W Dash Cams.

YouTube compression makes the video quality look poor. The original footage is perfectly clear and crisp.

If I was driving any of those ugly new Nissans I too would be in a hurry to get off the roads as fast as possible so no one sees me driving it.

I bet he has it on a 7year loan to boot :roll:
I noticed he had a sheitload of what seemed to be artificial flowers and teddy bears on his front and back dash, is that a norm?

The triangles are 'give way' markings, used at roundabouts.

The 'yellow box' is the same as in Todd St. /RKH, do not block intersection
[ which was passed as a law]. Same yellow box in P.O.S. as well.

If its Bye Pass/Scott St., then yes it is a 'designated pedestrian crossing zone' which is controlled with a press button switch to allow all lights to be red allowing the ped. to cross.

Amber arrows means that you can 'proceed with caution and turn in the direction of the arrow'. A green arrow means that you can proceed in the direction of the arrow.

Thank you for the clarification
I honestly thought that some of these things were already understood but the extra road markings to say the same thing.
If memory serves me correct you are not supposed to enter an intersection if you couldn't clear it before the light changed. .. and this was mentioned before we even had those yellow intersection markings. You were already supposed to give way at a roundabout to traffic on your right.

Still have some questions

Do I give way to pedestrians as I would on a zebra crossing cause there are similar markings by the san fernando general hospital and not every one waits after pushing the button. People crossing like they on a zebra crossing. .. but pedestrians have right of way (but then again what is Jaywalking)
Also
The arrow by gulf city traffic lights to turn onto the link road lights amber. ... but drivers want to force you to go like if it green when it lit...and all you doing is waiting until it safe to proceed

Trini alluh good

Just Monday I see a mdcum (Iirc) 3 tone carrying chairs in parts along the east west corridor and had seats flying out the back by Suzuki there. Load was strapped in and covered though.
Was going and try to alert him but a biker did it.

The road markings are used in tandem with the signage to ensure that drivers are aware and alerted of road conditions ahead. Sometimes the markings might fade before it is repainted or a sign might be knocked down or stolen or vandalised.

Yes, the amber still means to proceed with caution...lol!

The zebra crossing [big rectangle blocks] by itself gives pedestrians the right of way. At a traffic light, that's another story. The traffic light will dictate who has the right of way. UTT, Pleasantville are all examples where the Traffic light will determine right of way.

Sorry to rant eh, but why is it that people can't obey the simple laws of the road instead of driving like a set of drunk BUGWAANAAS?

Just on my way home, this BUGWAAANAAA driving a hilux through avocat coming around the corner completely on my side of the road and even slowing down and blowing horn the BUGWAAANAAA wouldn't go back in lane. I mearly got away by a few centimeters.

I can't understand this sheit nah.

Owner of the Hilux lives on the corner obliquely opposite St. Johns trace.

Pics and vehicle number coming soon...
