Saint Barthélemy : Official Statement

Using the opportunity of the festivities around New Year’s Eve, the Territorial Police Forces would like to point out some elementary rules and of lavishing useful recommendations with the road users.

1 – Traffic in Gustavia must remain possible at all times to the traffic of Police, Safety, and Security forces services particularly:

• the access to the hospital
• and the exit of Gustavia towards the airport.

2 – The drivers of vehicles are strongly advised:

• to leave Gustavia downtown, in priority by using the street August Nyman (known as “Rue du calvaire”) in direction to the airport, and by the road of Lurin.

• while parking, to always think of the other drivers, and of the needs of passages for the Police, Safety and Security Forces vehicles. Studs and Ru beacon has been laid out in certain intersections and along the pavements to facilitate this traffic.

• to avoid anarchistic parking on the main road in the parish of Saint-Jean, from the Airport terminal towards the `Centre Neptune’ direction of Lorient. Police, Safety and Security Forces vehicles must borrow this axis without encumber.

Practical advises :

Enjoy festivities and Have fun parties, but you should appoint a driver to remain sober.

 We count on the good citizenship and on the collaboration of each one so that these days some rules are complied with.

Thanking you for not sully these festivities by an irresponsible behavior on the road.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2015
