Rose Hill: Ambrose Street Dangerous for Pedestrians?

14.30. Colleges close. Students rushed out of the confines of their institution. Whether the St. Mary's College or St Andrews College, they invade without complex width of the road, while cars come and go in both directions. A school bus trying to leave the court, the operation is delicate as the Ambrose street is narrow. Say that in this case, when unconscious park their cars on both sides of the road? A traffic jam settles for a few minutes. It was not until the departure of the bus for traffic again become 'normal'.

"It's every day so. The situation is worse in the afternoon. We are used to it: we drive carefully. There is no sidewalk or police despite everything else on the road "students complain of St Mary's. "It's been five years since we take this road. And Gordon Street also has problems of road safety, "they add.

"The construction of sidewalks would secure traffic" says Alvin Noya in Lower VI at St Mary's. "Thank goodness there have been no accidents so far. We can not stand idly by. Watch these young St Andrews, on the left side of St. Ambrose, the cars pass within inches of them. Here, there is no sidewalk on the other hand, they are too narrow. Vehicles are parked on some sidewalks, forcing young people to walk on the road, "says Robbie Chenel in Form V. "No agent is traffic control. The authorities expect an accident before they respond? "He asked.

Jim Henry, pastor of the Assembly of God, just drop her little son in the morning and get the afternoon. He laments the lack of police officers. "There is a crowd, there is a constant ballet of cars, buses, trucks. It is dangerous to schoolchildren who walk on the road. Should post a morning / or police (s) and afternoon peak hours. Besides some college students are on a motorcycle, and teachers car. Bottling is guaranteed "

Residents and regulars St. Ambrose insist, however, that the crowd that filled the floor lasts only a few minutes. "It is even more risky move for college leaving school later, then there is not a soul on the street. The attacks are not lacking in this area of Rose Hill deemed hot. '"
