KINGSTON, Jamaica – The Road Safety Unit (RSU) in the Ministry of Transport and Mining is renewing its call for motorists to desist from speeding on the roads, as road fatalities continue to mount. Since the start of the year 105 people have been killed in road crashes. Pedestrians, motorcyclists, passengers and drivers of private motor vehicles have recorded the highest number of fatalities to date. A breakdown of the figures reveal that: 29 were pedestrians, six were pedal cyclists, 31 were motorcyclists, five pillion passengers, eight private motor vehicle passengers, three drivers of commercial vehicles, one passenger of a commercial motor vehicle and 22 were drivers of private motor vehicles. Against that background, the RSU is pleading with motorists to keep left while driving; not to overtake around corners and to drive within the posted speed limits. Additionally, the RSU is reiterating the call for motorists to wear seatbelts, (both drivers and passengers); helmets for motorcyclists and pillion passengers, and pedestrians to use the road with caution.
