What they need to do is take down and use some of the useless traffic CAUSING lights from other areas. Such as:
1) Intersection of Shirley and Parliament streets (just needs yield signs on both sides of Parliament street)
2) Shirley and Frederick streets (just needs a yield sign on Frederick street)
3) Blue Hill and that corner just south of Government house (its one side street merging onto a two lane one way street for gods sake. Just put a stop sign on the side street).

Think government, THINK!!!!!!

"an accident waiting to happen" - It has already happened; I saw an accident on that intersection today. Then traffic became even more hazardous as the cars in the accident were blocking the intersection.

I wonder what is more expensive government: (I) fixing the lights, (ii) paying police officer to sort out the traffic during rush hours until the Government wins the Powerball Jackpot, or (ii) paying claims and legal fees for being sued over this. Maybe SLS Hotels can pitch in with money rather than paying for useless Government trips to Vegas? Or one of the "Bread-for-Government-Brethren" Trusts set up by the Oil Drillers, Number Houses, Stolen Car Smugglers?

... yet the gov't has no trouble finding the money for the Prime Minister to travel on important "fact-finding" missions to Las Vegas and New York City!

Situation: Hopeless.

Do you realize everything this government FAILS to do is related to having no money? But yet $10 million in drugs and medical supplies can go missing and unaccounted for. Why should taxpayers pay taxes if they are not getting services or things they are paying for are getting stolen? Now they claim to have outsourced the property tax collection to an accounting company because they don't have enough personnel to collect the taxes. Another scandal in the making? Another crony pocket getting lined, lavishly? You do the math: $500 million outstanding. A collection agency will charge 10% to collect outstanding accounts resulting of a bill that can total $50 million FIFTY MILLION. Government can hire TWENTY temporary workers at $20,000.00 a year for 3 years to do the collection. The BILL $1.2 million. go figure why the country is saddled with debt.:

Good point. We have a criminal government in place for sure. They are dumb, ignorant and crooks.
I for one keep turning my children's faces towards Europe. There is no future here, especially in Nassau. If you aren't in government, a gang or a drug cartel you won't be able to survive in Nassau for long.
How do we get this government in front of the International Criminal Court to account for their pillaging of the Bahamian people?

I say use some a dat money from the bamsi project!

Ministry of Works **AGAIN**??? Wasn't the budget debate just yesterday? When is that money released? Something is seriously WRONG at that ministry...money, contracts, appointments....something is WRONG. How can the government THINK to invest 100 MILLION in BAMSI and ignore something as basic as traffic signals. That's like buying a luxury car and not having enough money for a battery...I wonder what the ardent supporters are saying about this NEW mess

Comrades no media source wants report on the number of bodies piling up and going unclaimed at Bahamaland's hospital morgues. It's not that they go unloved by their family members. They simply do not have the money bury them. Comrades, If it is too disturbing for your reading tastes - too damn bad. Try picturing what it is doing to the hearts of families who have face this realty every single day?

$100 million for BAMSI, $16 million to be borrowed for COB, $9 million for Carnival, $10 million (that's only the lil bit reported so far) that was stolen from PHA, $1 million for an opinion poll and this flipping government can't put out the money to repair the traffic lights? 98% of us don't have the luxury of outriders or police escorts to get around this lil island. How many have to have serious injury or die before this IMPORTANT issue is address. We are so sick of this mess! Perry and Co., YOU ARE A DISGRACE. A FAILURE. Do the honorable thing and REMOVE YOURSELVES AS THE GOVERNMENT FOR THIS COUNTRY. All them years in politics and you people have no damn clue on how to govern. Mismanagement and misappropriation rule. For the love of God, country and the legal citizens and residents of our country, just go!!!

You forgot that there was an earlier report of some mismanagement of funds to the tune of 40 million at the PHA, (remember they ran out of what was more than enough money to complete the new wing at the hospital)... that makes it 50 million. And I do agree, this government is a disgrace, there isn't a bright spark among them. I like the idea if a Bahamisn style multiway festival but never in my dreams did I believe they would a lot "50" million (it's not going to be 9, each minister has to get something), to Carnival but not have enough money to print license plates or fix lights.

and folks voted for these tiefs, now deal with what you voted for. and for 2 more years boy yinna in trouble, im leaving for the U.S. and will only return for Junkanoo, im jumping ttyl and see you dec on bay street

I'm having serious doubts that the Bahamas a a country can withstand 2+ more years of this worthless government.

Then, even if the one of the other two parties gets elected, I have little faith that they will be able to do anything of note to get the country headed back in the right direction.

ha ha they might sell that too

It is simple, The Government of The Bahamas is a FAILURE. What really is going to kill this country is that 80+% of Bahamians DO NOT CARE! The only hope I see on the horizon is trying to jump ship. Never thought I would say that but it is obvious this ship is sinking and the captain and crew are worse than the ones on the Korean ferry that sank, they are stealing from the passengers before they leave us to drown.

Don't forget the $5M Vincent Vanderpool Wallace got away with!

Dumb ass government should make left turns on red lights legal ( U.S. allows right turns on red lights) and install 4-way stop signs instead of traffic lights.

4-way stop signs dictates the fist car that comes to a complete stop at a stop sign from either direction has the right of way.....SIMPLE.

PLP & FNM will now debate and hold a multi-million dollar referendum on 4-way stop signs for the remainder of the 21st Century.

JACKASS'S EXTRAORDINAIRE one and all!
