The Guyana Police Force (GPF) is planning to restrict road use by container trucks during peak hours on roadways in Georgetown, and the East Demerara and West Demerara, in order to ease congestion.

The GPF said in a statement on Friday that there would be a restriction on access by lorries and container trucks between the hours of 7am and 9am, 11am and 1pm, and 3pm and 5pm.

The Traffic Chief, Senior Superintendent Linden Isles, along with Traffic Officer for Region 4 (B) Assistant Superintendent Jermaine Harper, met with owners and drivers of lorries/container trucks at Soesdyke Junction, where they outlined the plans.
