Antigua and Barbuda's roads recorded 15 traffic collisions in a single weekend, prompting urgent calls for an immediate overhaul of traffic policing across the island. According to Antigua Observer, a prominent local automotive expert has placed the blame squarely on critical gaps in law enforcement patrols.
Paul Ryan, a local businessman with decades of experience in the automotive industry, says the crisis stems directly from a near-total absence of visible traffic policing on the nation's roads. Ryan is demanding that authorities act swiftly to address what he describes as a dangerous and deteriorating situation.
The alarming number of incidents recorded over a single weekend has intensified public concern about road safety in Antigua and Barbuda. As reported by Antigua Observer, Ryan's warning highlights what he sees as a systemic failure to maintain adequate patrol presence, which he argues emboldens reckless driving behaviour.
Ryan's call for reform underscores growing frustration among road users and industry professionals who say the current approach to traffic enforcement is insufficient to protect lives on the island's roads.
