Large trucks in San Pedro Town continue to be an issue for residents
The issue regarding large trucks in downtown San Pedro Town and other parts of the island continues to be a daily concern as many residents voice their discontent, calling on local authorities to take further measures. Over the past few days, some residents have reported traffic accidents involving these large vehicles, fearing that a tragedy may occur if the issue is not addressed. The San Pedro Town Council (SPTC) had previously set a schedule for large vehicles (dump and cargo trucks) to alleviate traffic and potential accidents. According to the SPTC, this schedule has not changed; however, those concerned about the traffic problem say regulation needs to be enforced.
Community and Society
SPTC to further address the issue of large trucks and traffic in downtown San Pedro
Many residents commuting daily to downtown San Pedro have expressed that large dump and delivery trucks have added to the growing congestion affecting the busy island community. The situation has prompted the San Pedro Town Council (SPTC) to reissue regulations to monitor the problem. However, many residents believe the solution would be to barge the construction material with these trucks instead of allowing them through town.
