On Wednesday, January 12, an article appeared in 'The Gleaner' about the 'sad and dangerous situation' which exist daily along the Mount Rosser to Moneague road. The article which was written by the Rev. Earl Thames, was adjudged the letter of the day.

The letter highlighted the dangers facing motorists who use that road every day. Rev. Thames also stated that it was not the first time that he was bringing this to the public's notice, but his 'ramblings' seemed to have fallen on deaf ears.

Rev. Thames mentioned the dangers posed by long-bodied trailers and the long delays when they are involved in accidents. He also made the suggestion that the authorities consider restricting these very large vehicles from plying that route, and that businesses choose smaller vehicles to carry out such haulage jobs. Cricket World Cup was also thrown in the mix as he pondered what could happen if an accident occurred along this winding road during the staging of this important event.

'On November 5, 2006, an article of mine was published via The Gleaner's Go-local Jamaica. It was entitled The 'Corridor of Uncertainty' and it dealt with this same perplexing issue of large trailers involved in accidents on this road and causing death and injury to persons.

The ICC Cricket World Cup came in for much focus with the possibility of long delays in the event of an accident and what this would mean to patrons of the sport.

The alternative route for those travelling from the North Coast to get to Sabina Park in Kingston is via Moneague, Camperdown and Tydixon districts, through Worthy Park, and into Ewarton.

However, there are several narrow sections along this route which allows for only small vehicles to pass, and so is fraught with danger.

For the time being, we traverse Mount Rosser's 'corridor of uncertainty' to our peril, while the authorities grope outside the off stump for answers. Pretty soon we will all get caught.
