Police Traffic Announcement – Illegal Parking on Joseph Lane

St. John’s, Antigua and Barbuda, Tuesday, 30 September 2025

The Police Administration is issuing a reminder to motorists concerning the persistent problem of illegal parking along Joseph Lane.

Despite repeated warnings and the installation of traffic signs and road markings prohibiting this unlawful practice, some motorists continue to disregard the regulations. This behavior not only creates obstructions but also severely impedes the free flow of vehicular traffic along the route.

To address this ongoing issue, the police will be conducting increased traffic checks in the area. Any vehicle found parked illegally will be subject to ticketing and immediate towing at the owner’s expense.

The Police Administration appeals to all road users to comply with traffic regulations and cooperate fully with the authorities. These measures are being enforced to ensure safer roadways and smoother traffic movement for everyone.

The Royal Police Force of Antigua and Barbuda thanks the public for its continued cooperation in promoting safety and order on the nation’s streets.

  1. Parking In Antigua is sick and disgusting all over the island its the same, whether in city or country area and the police keep ignoring it so they are to blame. Drivers have no respect for markings on the road you see it everywhere you go. The traffic department could make so much money daily.

    The village of Bolams is a classic case, right at the corner at Aunt Mem’s Supermarket and the road east of the school vehicles block that corner daily, you cannot see to get on the Valley road without advancing far on the main road the police is going to wait until someone is killed before doing anything about it and it is something they see every day, there needs to be no parking lines at those corners. The traffic department is the problem they need to enforce the law

  2. Joseph Lane is that road that branches off lower All Saints Road and goes to the traffic light by the football field (formerly King George).

    Thank God this finally came to the notice of the police. It is a predominantly Spanish community and they operate as if it’s a private road. Often, vehicles are double and tripple-parked, leaving a single lane for 2-way traffic.

    Thank God somebody woke up the police from their slumber

  3. Something needs to be done about the road in Grays Farm going to the school and police station I think it’s Federation Road…For years the cars parked on the left always cause a serious traffic issue….The road especially at certain times of the day is a horror house situation with traffic having to reverse and all kinda crap..There is a Guyanese lady and her husband who have a bar/restaurant that makes it worse……I know most of the cars are people parked infront their homes but it it a problem that needs to be addressed..

  4. Police are very selective about where parking is restricted. The people who park on Joseph Lane and the businesses there need to get with the programme and pay the bribes. Don’t you see cars park all along Popeshead Street which is no parking on both sides 24 hours a day. Yet the Police pass by and do nothing because the toll has been paid And this is a major road into St. John’s for vehicles from Villa, Yorks, Mackinnons, Marble Hill, Paradise View, Crosbies, Blue Waters, Cedar Grove, Hodges Bay etc. Traffic avoiding the traffic jams on Friars Hill Road. So pay the bribes and you can park any where. No one in the Police Force cares

  5. While you all it if this is the same road please address the noise pollution that comes from there. There is this bar that blasts its music during the evening.

  6. Who issued this? Antigua has a Traffic Department? Really? Where are they hiding? No Traffic Police has been seen for at least a year dealing with any traffic. They are only seen at accidents, escorting the GG and PM or making extra money escorting funerals. The Police Force needs a shake up or sweep out.

  7. Otto you chatting bull shhhhh .are you living in the sky ? Things will never get better in this country. No matter what is done for the benifit of everyone , there is always a BLACK DONKEY praying. How can you say over a year you haven’t seen traffic police ? Where do you live ? That is why you all children have this country hostage

  8. @littlejohnny. Please tell me where you have seen traffic police other than the areas I mentioned. At accidents and as escorts. I drive the streets of this country every day with traffic jams all over. Nary a traffic police in sight to direct and try ease bottlenecks at critical junctions. There are no traffic police directing traffic any where. Unless they are invisible.

  9. Grays farm for many years have been neglected by both administration , they use us as pawns and bribe us with ham and turkey during Christmas, no sidewalk for the school kids to walk on by the clinic and police station. Traffic department is understaffed and road signee is poor.

  10. All this complains about this issue
    When’s the issue about too many cars 🚘 n the country will have to accept this one way or the other

    Every month new car on road, new driver, new license, then children go to want cars after school
    Lol so nooooobody using public transport? Lol lol

    But noooooo focus on giving tickets n keep traffic going THANNNNN THE AFTUAL PROBLEM!!! Classic Gaston common sense approach …do opposite first then the problem last lmaooo then wen it too late charge dem more…but yeahhhh study votes and seat and early election cuz u can backraise ur self back to the prime minister seat cuz money solves everything right lmaoooo

    See wat happens when u let several generations of not allowing an en ethnicity to read nothing but a Bible and go no where but church, intelligence is a survival threat decades later, stupid ppl didn’t build roads yet we have it, stupid ppl never designed cars but we allow it, stupid ppl want reparations but don’t know how to ask for it.

    Now stupid ppls best approach to appease anything is to create new laws and tax who don’t listen … utter dunceness like lol this is the best ur thinking capacity can come up with as leaders ?? Look how long it took for them to realise build ground water storage before increasing water bills cuz the issue wasn’t water collection but distribution….

    After slavery, the negro had to make a life by working for someone who already owned everything by FORCING the negro to buy wat he needed by making him work for the owner again for the negro to buy from the owner which the owner only sells to who already works for him, this loop is wat the negro has been systematically living in for centuries and NOBODY HAS EVER DONE ANYTHING TO REALISE HOW LONG THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON, NO OTHET RACE BUYS MORE UNNECESSARY NOTHING THAN THE NEGRO, not Chinese, not Arab…NOBODY!!!

    Selling to Somone who has no choice but to work for the owner while the owners monopolize on selling to his workers while his workers MUST BUY from spells TAKING ADVANTAGE OF STUPIDITY FOR GENERATIONS FOR INDIVIDUALS WHO THINK BEING EDUCATED IS FEELING BETTER THAN OTHERS!!

    THEN ADD TAX!!

    Wa kinda look that be??

    Now all they do is buy buy buy and argue with ppl who don’t kno 2+2 but they can elect them

    Fools grow old stil have money and grow old calling themselves WISE.

    BUNCH DUNCE FOOLS E HARD TO READ A DAM BOOK? E hard to realise common sense?? HOW MYCH MORE YEARS ARE BEGROS GONBA BE RETARDED

    YOUR DAM COUNTRY STARTS ANTI- means against or opposing GUA- we can say water
