The Upper Corentyne road is of very poor quality. There is no way in the world that a road of that quality could pass road specifications. If one were to drive a new car along it, it would feel like a ride in a donkey cart. The road is not smooth; pitch was just thrown on it and then levelled in an ‘anyhow’ way. The paint which was used for the white and yellow lines also cannot pass through one good rainfall. The paint is too thin, the reflectors will not remain there for very long – they have started to come out – and many of the yellow signs in the corner of the road are peeling off already. In addition, some people will destroy the road with combines and heavy-duty machines; especially when the sun is hot the machine tracks will break up the reflectors.
Yours faithfully,
