The most dangerous crossing in the city……gonna need an overpass, although we Guyanese don’t seem to like use overpass, especially carrying bags from mall.
I think a turn lane with light needs to be put in place for mall and for buses to pick up on the service rd for both Westbound and Eastbound buses.
