I hope there is a huge penalty and some kind of enforcement for motorists that blow through the lights and maybe in the start patrol actively watching and ticketing. The lights are the first step but for that to be effective active enforcement is necessary. Still so pleased this happened.
This is Jude, Mrs CanadaGeorge,, . for the last fifteen years one of our favourite things to do is walk the west end road. We would just grab our mask and flippers and roam, looking for a place to swim and have a redstripe. We even walked one day from the round a bouts to Hogg's Heaven. There is always someone to meet and lots to do. Last November we had just watched the sun set at Xtabi and felt like some supper at DeBarr, a short walk out the road. Right accrossfrom Rockhouse my foot stepped on a loose rock ( ironically just a few feet from the only sidwalk in Negril). My ankle twisted and the results are in the picture. I fell right onto the road and thankfullly there were no busses coming back from Ricks. Where the venders are accross from Rockhouse is getting absoulutely impossible to walk through. I know that I am fifteen years older now but I am not getting any younger and I would still like to enjoy going out the road. The sidewalks would be the best and safest idea .Thank you Negril, Walk Good.

I hope they let them blink yellow for a likkle while so tne drivers on the road get used to them being there ! I also want to say don`t belive that if the light is red for the car`s that all will stop, always be very careful anytime your walking any road on the island,that way you will get to enjoy all your time in paradise!
Ya mon it is truly Paradise !
Bless !

That was my thought too! Just because they're there doesn't necessarily mean the car will stop! Will still be using caution when crossing even at the light. Look right, left, right....Originally Posted by BikerMike
This is great news!!
Goodness give it a chance before you guys say it won't work.
Wonderful!
Not sure how effective a traffic light will slow down drivers on NMB particularly since there is no cross traffic at these intersections. A few well marked speed bumps on the other hand would probably be more effective and cheaper. The transition from no traffic lights to even one in a small town probably has some symbolism...I would rather it not occur in Negril, but improved road safety conditions are needed.
WOW ....and sidewalks too!!! will make it safer for everyone hopefully!
I'm more excited about the sidewalks than the lights!
Oh yah, the next thing ya know, Rob will be posting pictures of an Ambulance....
Only kidding!
