Deadman’s Corner

Deadman’s Corner at the end of the Poreporena Freeway in Konedobu, Port Moresby has claimed another life. The Post Courier reports that this is the 15th death at the corner since the freeway opened.

An unfortunate driver of a Hebou Construction vehicle was incinerated after his watewr tanker crashed at the corner. As the speed limit of 60 kilometres per hour is invariably exceeded on the freeway engineers have called for a redesign of the corner to help reduce the number of accidents and death toll. If vandalism wasn't so rife in the city may be the introduction of a speed camera in the area would help to slow drivers down but just imagine trying to track down who was driving the vehicle. Of course an education campaign would also help.

When was the last time you saw any one pulled over for speeding in the National Capital District?
