Questions about the recent Speed Monitoring exercises, conducted by the Royal St. Christopher and Nevis Police Force (RSCNPF) in St. Kitts along Old Road Bay and in Frigate Bay, have come to the fore and lawmen have provided clarification about the initiatives.

Concerns and questions are pertaining to the recently implemented Photo Radar Technology. In a statement, the Police Force said “we understand that several issues have been raised, including uncertainty about speed limits, and the need for clearer communication about how the system works.”

It added “our objective is not to penalize drivers, but to protect lives. Over the past year, the Federation has recorded multiple road fatalities and serious collisions, many directly linked to speeding. Additionally, we have documented an overall increase in the number of traffic accidents occurring annually.”

The Police Force mentioned that “however, we recognize that our communication could have been clearer. We therefore: Acknowledge the concerns shared by the public; Commit to increasing public education about speed zones, signage, and speed conversions (MPH/KMH); we will also host a Community Road Safety Forum before the month’s end to invite additional public feedback and suggestions.”
