Police Conduct Road Safety Refresher with Drivers at Madewini 

July 23 2025

As part of ongoing efforts to promote road safety under the 2024/2025 theme “Do the Right Thing,” traffic officers conducted a brief but impactful lecture with drivers along the Madewini Public Road, East Bank Demerara.

The exercise took place on Saturday, July 19, 2025, between 13:00 hrs and 13:20 hrs and was led by Inspector R. Scott, Officer-in-Charge of Traffic #3 Sub-Division, Timehri, and Lance Corporal Dutchin of the Soesdyke Police Outpost Traffic Department.

During the session, several key road safety topics were addressed, including:

• Zero tolerance for speeding

• The dangers of drinking and driving

• Adherence to the five C’s of defensive driving

• Passenger safety and proper vehicle loading

• Yielding the right of way to emergency vehicles

• Remaining alert for pedestrians and animals crossing the road

Drivers were reminded of their responsibility to operate vehicles safely and were encouraged to set a positive example on the road.

The initiative forms part of the Guyana Police Force’s broader strategy to reduce traffic-related incidents and save lives.
