GCCI expresses concern over inadequate management of road usage by heavy-duty trucks

The Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry expresses its deep consternation and outrage  regarding the inadequate management of road usage by heavy-duty trucks and the lack of proper  concern and action from relevant authorities to address the continued reckless behavior of their  drivers. This includes blatant disregard for speed limits and weight restrictions, posing a significant  danger to all road users. 

The ongoing misuse of the roadways by these trucks, coupled with the absence of effective  management, monitoring, and enforcement by the Guyana Police Force (GPF), creates an alarming  and unacceptable level of risk. This situation is not only a matter of public safety but also impacts  economic activities and the overall well-being of our communities. 

We urgently call upon the Guyana Police Force and the government to cease their passive stance and  take immediate, decisive actions to rectify this growing public hazard. It is imperative that measures  are implemented to ensure compliance with road regulations and to safeguard the safety and security  of all road users.
