Road Closed

31 December 2009

As I have already mentioned there have been a lot of road laying activities going on around the island in recent months and this has often involved road closures with diversions. This is signalled by a police motorbike across the road and if you are lucky the policeman will actually indicate which track you should take. It is then a bit pot luck if you get back to the man road in the correct place or not. However as I discovered today on rural roads a few branches are laid across the road. As I approached the diversion there were three palm tree branches scattered across the road, one or two is not unusual so I thought nothing of it. It was not until I had passed – with great difficulty the road works and came to another tangle of branches that I realised the significance of the branches. No wonder the workmen had been surprised to see me!
