Traffic in general, yes.

Specifically:

1. Too many motorized vehicles vans, pick up trucks, dump trucks, delivery trucks, 18 wheelers, Rangers, trash trucks, Polarises, quads, motorcycles, cars, etc.

2. The vehicles that ARE approved to be on the island are not quiet, eco-friendly, inspected. The majority of these vehicles have either been rigged to go faster than they should and/or have missing or damaged exhaust systems which make them loud and bad for the environment.

3. According to the Mayor, nothing can be done about speeding because there is no way to measure it. I am appealing to the FOP in the US for radar guns. My guess is that once the guns arrive, there will be no one to use them after 5pm, which is when the Grand Prix starts from the Island Supermarket to Playador.

4. Harry Longworth's editorial in last week's Ambergris today talks about the traffic issue and about how "foreigners" have changed the island. I say, look around Mr. Longworth, and see who the people are who are driving these smoke snorting, rumbling, falling apart pieces of crap around here. My guess is that you will discover that less than 10% of them are being bought and driven by "foreigners".

5. There is only about a seven mile stretch of road between the bridge and Victoria House. How freaking fast do you have to go to get ANYWHERE on this stretch? Are you going to be LATE? IN BELIZE? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

6. This is an extremely sore subject for me if you couldn't tell.

7. Thanks for letting me vent. Each time I bring this subject up, I hear nothing but excuses why it doesn't change.
