Pedestrian road traffic deaths in Trinidad and Tobago are said, to have increased by more than one hundred per cent.

TTPS road safety coordinator SGT Brent Batson says, for so early in the year the road fatality figure is not looking good.

Mr. Baston says, the victims are mainly homeless people along the highways.

He says, it is a tough issue to tackle for the TTPS.

He says, internationally it is difficult for persons to even get onto the highways, far more cross the busy carriageways.

He says, maybe it is time for a review of the rules and certain procedures must be followed.
