I noticed the other day that the roads were less busy. I wondered whether it was perhaps the Halloween hangover but then it dawned on me: it was the schools’ mid-term holiday.

Eureka! There is the solution and both the Transport Minister and Transport Malta should take note.

It’s useful widening the roads and shrinking the roundabouts. Yet, if the traffic problem is to be addressed head-on, then they should focus on the school transport and the desired outcome may be more achievable than trying to wrack our brains for virtual solutions.
