TRAFFIC: PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT
In connection with the upcoming Heineken Regatta events, the Police Force of St. Maarten is issuing the following public announcement:
Due to the expected large public attendance at the events at the Kim Sha Beach on Saturday, March 5th and Sunday March 6th and in order to ensure safety on the road as well as the smooth flow of traffic, it is imperative that adequate traffic measures are taken.
There are specific areas where parking will not be permitted.
Parking will be prohibited on the Billy Folly road. This area will be barricaded to allow the free flow of traffic in both directions, in and out of the Pelican area.
Parking will be prohibited on the western road side of Welfare Road from “Toppers” through to “Skip Jack”. This area will also be barricaded.
Parking will be prohibited on both unnamed, unpaved roads (next to Nature’s Discount) leading from Welfare road to the Kim Sha beach. These are identified as EMERGENCY EXITS from the event’s location.
Parking will be prohibited next to the BBQ grill which will be barricaded on both sides and will be used as the main EMERGENCY EXIT. No vendors will be allowed in the barricaded areas.
Barricades will be put in place on Friday, March 4 during the course of the day. Persons are being asked to remove vehicles parked in any of these restricted areas, prior to Friday, to avoid the inconvenience and expense of having their vehicle towed.
