What's Happening, April 6, 2026

Citizen's Complaint

Please consider this feedback from someone with extensive experience in managing traffic. Please let me know if you have similar concerns. She also speaks about security guards constantly being on their phones. This issue is one I have spoken about before. The NWA and the police need to address the traffic situation at the intersection of Kingsway Avenue and Hope Road.

Click the bar below to listen to her concerns.


The way the system is set up at the intersection of Kingsway Avenue and Hope Road is to force those who are heading in a southerly direction on Hope Road to go all the way down to Waterloo Road and make a right turn. This arrangement ends up creating more traffic issues. A filter light is needed that will allow vehicles coming down Hope Road to turn onto Kingsway Avenue. This measure would also assist those motorists who are exiting Andrews Hospital and heading onto Kingsway Avenue.

This matter concerns security guards. These guards assigned to various organization are left to perform on their own, so often times these guards are on their cell phones dealing with more important issues. Companies need to have undercover agents checking on their guards.

I remember some years ago when I tried getting the attention of a security guard who was on his phone. He was extremely annoyed that I interrupted his call. He told me, "Yu no see mi dey pon di phone."

Police Abuses Citizen


When a police officer treats someone like that, the police officer should be treated like a common criminal and expelled from the force. We are making significant efforts to change the JCF, and we cannot allow one or two rotten eggs to spoil it.

Train Police How To Direct Traffic

We are aware that standards have fallen drastically in Jamaica, and the impact is national. Recently, I saw a police officer in dark clothes making some frantic-looking hand movements. It came across to me that he was telling me to hurry.

The next thing you know is that the officer came up to me and declared that he told me to stop, and I disobeyed the police officer. He approached me in a very aggressive manner. I told him good afternoon and assured him that I am not a madman and that I would stop when told to do so by a police officer.

You remember the days when police officers wore bright coloured clothing and you could recognize them from afar. They had on white gloves, and they had specific hand signals to direct drivers. Now their hands are all over the place as if they are in a pond trying hard to stay afloat.

Mr Commissioner, please ensure that police officers are retrained in the traditional way of directing traffic.
