GRAND Bahama police conducted a road check exercise on the Grand Bahama Highway where some 30 motorists were cited for various traffic violations on Wednesday morning.
Inspector Terecita Pinder reported that officers of the Traffic Division were in the area of Gold Rock between 6.30am and 8am. She said motorists were found speeding, with dark tinted windows, and not wearing seat belts, which carries a fine of $300 for drivers.
Inspector Pinder said traffic police are also appealing to walkers, joggers, and all pedestrians to wear light coloured clothing or a reflective vest when on the street so that drivers will see them.
She is also advising motorists to slow down and stop at pedestrian crossings and allow pedestrians to safely cross the street. So far, eight persons have died on Grand Bahama due to traffic accidents.
