Pardon me ....but when da hell will the authorities wake up and take some ..concrete steps to help prevrnt these senseless ...avoidable knoching down people dead as dey crossing ....
1. If they are happening at certain pojnts where pedestrians patronize ....certain stores across the road.....easy a $1000 ...speed bump
2. An electronic signnal like erected by COB
3. Underground tunnel as the road seems elevated.
4. Cameras in ya face
5.Flood lights to illuminate certain crossings
6. Whatever happened to enforcing thd speed limit wid signs posted before crossings to give drivers ample time to slow fown and give pedestrian a fair chance.????

LMAO...Bogart say underground tunnel...ROTFL Bahamians walk when and where they please and Jitney's stop anywhere there is NOT a designated bus stop...I lose respect for pedrestrians when you slow down to let you cross and they do the slow walk from hell when you were trying to do them a favour...

"Highway". Pedestrian education. It will only get worse. I once saw a woman crossing diagonally from Robinson road westbound lane to marathon mall. Yes I said diagonally. Straight through the intersection.

Trust me if the driver "runs" I doubt it's the pedestrian's fault.

Sure, that's a troubling trend, for myself I was speaking to the increased reports of pedestrians being killed on "highways". You're taking your life in your hands for a shortcut

Bogart, before the authorities implement any of your suggestions they would have to actually CARE. If any of them do actually care, getting them to ACT is another story.

If not under-pass, how about enclosed OVER-passes at strategic locations?

More than likely, he staggered across the street from the bar but nonetheless, that doesn't lessen the fact that he is human. There really needs to be some sort of intervention put in place to stop these killings in the same place !!!

This happens regularly and not all are reported. I know of 2 hit and runs that happened within a hour or each other a few weeks ago. In one of the instances, the driver had to consciously leave the road and go on the sidewalk to hit the person. These are deliberate hits but the authorities are trying to keep this info hush-hush.

Thanks DDK.
Deadly accidents are happening wid great frequency along this higway....well past time that govt notices...after all the area MP should know of dem all usually having to attennd all the funreals......the Pastors should know...likely having to bury all.....
It would appear from the getgo the idea of placing consumer stores on one side of a busy highway...and high dense populaton on the other side was a recipe for disaster....dozen plus lives lost so far...?.?
When a govt can spend and see millions mismanaged....baseball park in the same area...cost overruns millioms .........and not a penny to investigate all these deaths....simple braking thinking formula average vehicles...well know to calculate braking distamces.....60 mph..some 180 feet ....unless person drunk...on drugs..etc.....and...even if da pedestrian is walking on dere hands backwards an naked on da road.....the driver should be capable ..of seeing and braking on time.....????....but people keep getting knocked ddown dead..........mind you currently being discussed wid govt is the effects of too much one type of long line fishing gone be killing too many fish......noway saving lives of fish more inportant than saving people.....where da MP.......???

How about amending the bill to charge persons for murder when they hit and kill a pedestrian? Especially those that leave the scene. You kill someone with a car, and only have to pay a fine? That is pure foolishness.

First,my condolences to the family of the man killed in this latest accident on that highway.I know four previous persons struck down and killed on the TWD highway. That highway is not properly lighted and needs to be lighted. The pedestrian crossings needs to be repainted.There should be PDA explaining and showing road safety issues on the various medias. I commend the FNM government with their amendments to the Road Safety Act.This will bring some sense oof order to our streets. This should been done years ago.However the ministry of works under successive governments PLP and FNM, have been lack,and down right lousy in road lighting,markings and maintenance issues.

I think Bogart had too many Tide pods again.

Has anyone commented about the flattened gates and fencing around pedestrian crossings and the squished bollards? So many in charge of vehicles don't know how to drive. Those who flee a scene are more than likely without driver's licence, insurance, annual car licences, unlawfully driving someone else's car that should have been on the scrap heap years ago, drunk, using a cell phone, had their licence confiscated by the courts, on the run for other offences or maybe a combination of many or all in total.

Sadly a Bahamian has died, someone loved, family member....not the first given the existing continuing situation pedestrians being killed.
No amount of talking, insulting can justify these loss of pedestrian lives. Yes...it may very well be expected that friends or persons knowing the culprit will be monitoring to see what is developing.
Changes are needed to stop these deaths.
