Dear Editor,The tragic collision on the Demerara Bridge yesterday morning—one of the nation’s most vital transport arteries—again highlights Guyana’s persistent road-safety challenge. Guyana Police Force data show 137 road traffic deaths in 2025 from 124 fatal crashes, a slight increase over 2024, underscoring the continued human cost despite broader efforts to reduce accidents. I commend the Government of Guyana, the Ministry of Home Affairs, the Ministry of Public Infrastructure, and the Guyana Police Force (GPF) for their visible and sustained interventions. Public education initiatives such as “Do the Right Thing,” combined with targeted enforcement, are contributing to incremental but meaningful change. The progress now visible should be sustained, expanded, and continually refined to reduce preventable loss of life.
