New guard rail installations have commenced across Antigua and Barbuda as part of ongoing efforts to improve road safety, the Ministry of Works has said.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The ministry explained that the project forms part of its continued commitment to protecting motorists and reducing the severity of road traffic accidents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to officials, the newly installed guard rails are designed to improve safety along key roadways by helping to prevent vehicles from leaving the carriageway, particularly in high-risk areas.<\/p>

The Ministry of Works said the initiative reflects a broader focus on creating safer roads for all road users. However, motorists are being reminded that infrastructure improvements alone cannot eliminate road accidents.<\/p>

Drivers are being urged to remain alert, obey traffic laws and practise responsible driving at all times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ministry stressed that while safety measures can help save lives, safer roads ultimately depend on safer choices by road users.<\/p>
