Hazard At Big Buddha

[Tropicalevo]

Just a word of warning - a big tanker (petrol?) has broken down on the corner directly opposite Big Buddha.

This is causing all traffic to drive on the one side - it's a blind corner. so take care.

Broke yesterday evening and is still there. Pretty amazing but a good thing to warn folks!

Thanks Trop. More than 30 years ago in mainland Europe traffic had to carry a warning triangle, fire ext, 1st aid kit etc at all times in case of accident/breakdown. Half a plastic chair & a Palm leaf is the most i've seen here...& that's usually after the bend!

I hope the BBC don't receive any unexpected visitors!

Yes you need to be very cautious going round there because some drivers don't appear to feel the need to slow down at all.

It is rather astonishing is it not that a country with the fastest growing economy in the region doesn't have the capability of placing a warning triangle at the scene of a potential hazard. Island life i suppose
