Some speed limits are “unusually low”; specialists need to relook at them – Jagdeo

Vice President Dr Bharrat Jagdeo has admitted that some of the speed limits established for various roadways are “unusually low” and suggested that the “specialists” relook at them.

“You don’t want to go overboard in any direction. So, speed limits that are safe but don’t become so cumbersome that everyone will get charge because they are so unusually low on a highway,” the Vice President said in response to questions during his press conference today.

However, he noted that this is something which specialists need to examine, not politicians.

On April 7, the government launched its e-ticketing system and within the first 12 hours, over 250 violations for speeding were recorded.
