Back road humps at Mead

Suva of which resulted in the death of a young boy. My house is situated about 40 metres from the accident site and it is difficult to erase the memories of this tragic event. Following the third accident, I approached the Suva City Council if they could possibly construct some road humps, which they promptly did.

One such road hump was constructed at the site of the fatal accident, another was near the main gate to the St Agnes Primary School, and the third was a few metres further, downhill from the school.

I wish to inform that following the construction of the three road humps in 2003, there have been no more accidents or near-misses along this stretch of road, although we would hear motor vehicles screeching when drivers would suddenly realise the presence of these deterrents and suddenly apply their brakes. Now with the disappearance of the road humps, the very noticeable acceleration of motor vehicles have begun again, and I pray that there would be no accidents along this stretch of road as a result of the removal of the road humps, God forbid, of course. With the opening of the 2018 School Year only a little over two weeks from now, I pray that necessary steps would be put in place by the Fiji Roads Authority, as proactive measures in ensuring road accidents are altogether avoided.

May I also wish the CEO and the FRA a 2018 full of promise.
