Government will have to do more to put the brakes on frequent accidents at the Mangrove junction in St Philip, some residents and the President of the Barbados Road Safety Association (BRSA) Sharmane Roland-Bowen have suggested.On Tuesday night, on the heels of a recent spate of accidents, the latest occurring last Sunday, work crews from the Ministry of Transport Works and Water Resources erected a four-way traffic stop at the location.Reduce speed signs and stop signs were installed at Mangrove Main Road, which is the Four Roads to Airport stretch of the road. Previously, stop signs and reduce speed signs were only placed along the two minor roads at Mangrove and Market Road.While residents welcomed the initial action as a positive step, they were not convinced it would deliver the intended results and suggested that either a roundabout or traffic lights might be a better solution.Longtime resident Egbert Lashley, who was watching the crews on the job on Tuesday night, told Barbados
