An interesting news I read today about a country in South America, which is called Guyana.
The traffic light in Guyana are coming back, many of the lights on their long yellow poles have already been put down, complete with accompanying solar panels by which they will be powered. It sounds like a real progress, isn't it???
But still Guyana residents don't know anything about this project. Will these lights come with "Walk" and "Don't Walk" signals… only time will tell, but for now we may surely say that even these traffic light were to be placed even throughout the whole country, they wouldn't be very effective. Before that, police should educate residents of Guyana, because there children in schools who have never seen working traffic lights. So, police needs to work on pre-education of the population. It also needs to tell more about enforcement of punishment and fines for pedestrians and unlawful drivers.
As for speed cameras, hand-held police radar guns, standard radar guns, or speed trailers that might be helpful and effective for police officers in their work, they remain plans on paper for now.
But anyway, it's a very good step forward, and we'll wait to see what happens next in this country.
