Drivers: Please put away the phones… pay attention to what you are doing, and look out for cyclists, runners, pedestrians.
Cyclists: Please wear bright coloured and/or reflective clothing and a helmet. Always ride with the flow of traffic, and indicate your intentions.
Runners/Pedestrians: Try to go against the flow of traffic wherever possible so that you can see what is coming towards you. Wear bright clothing when you can. Wait until traffic has completely stopped before stepping into a crosswalk, and activate the flashing lights when available.
If everyone uses a bit more courtesy and common sense we can reduce the number of incidents significantly and make our roads safer for everyone.

Public, victims, and families make more targeted demands of them, or are there people on their Board that need to be fired? The public has already been billed many times over for the nicest bicycle paths in the Caribbean. Where are they? We can’t accept these headlines anymore.
Those are the ones painted green in the middle of the road.
Typical Cayman/CIG/Civil Service utter incomptence.
Give the job to Dart – or any other expat contractor – and watch it happen.
Pathetic.
