Ways to improve Jamaica: 61-70: the streets

The streets in first world countries remain an ongoing wonder as I travel on the smooth surface. It is a far cry from the roads I am accustomed to and struggle to keep alive on in Jamaica. In my own country I contend with the road surfaces, the potholes, other drivers so arrogant and always in a rush and then the police personnel. As if.. the space on the roads are not already a headache, the sudden step down in the roads especially when the light turns green can almost give me an heart attack.

Here’s a list of suggestions towards improving our nation to making it perfect.
(Numbers 61-70)

61. Go back in the big books and enforce forgotten laws relating to the roads for example jay walking
62. Remove laws that are no longer applicable, but are used as a ruler
63. Apply a portion of the collected revenue to upgrade, and maintain the roads
64. Bring back civics in schools
65. Recognize that Jamaicans drive to reflect how we relate to each other
66. Ticket persons who step down in front of cars when the lights turn green
67. Street police should be trained to assist pedestrians
68. Working cameras on every corner
69. Lit lanes and streets at night
70. Modest dressing
