IN a strategic move to enhance traffic flow during the bustling Christmas shopping season, Regent Street Georgetown, spanning from Vlissengen Road to the east and Avenue of the Republic to the west, will experience a temporary closure to eastbound traffic.

The measure is set to be in effect from Thursday, December 21st, until midnight on Christmas Eve.
The decision to close the eastbound lanes along this prominent shopping district aims to optimise the overall traffic experience for shoppers and commuters alike.

The closure will be in force during the peak shopping period, allowing for a more organised and efficient flow of vehicles.
Motorists and pedestrians are urged to stay informed and cooperate with traffic ranks stationed at various points along the affected roadways. The traffic ranks will provide guidance and directions to ensure a smooth and safe experience for all road-users.,

Commissioner of Police, Clifton Hicken, along with Deputy Commissioner ‘Administration’ Calvin Brutus, Traffic Chief Mahendra Singh, and Inspector Gavin Boyce, recently conducted an inspection on Regent Street to oversee the preparations for the temporary traffic adjustment.
Their presence highlights the significance of this proactive measure to manage the expected surge in traffic during the festive season.

The Guyana Police Force emphasises the importance of road-users’ cooperation and compliance with the instructions provided by traffic ranks. This temporary traffic adjustment is a collaborative effort to enhance public safety and convenience, contributing to a more enjoyable and stress-free Christmas shopping experience for everyone in the heart of Georgetown.
