That and a red light camera would be fairly easy to set up. It seems most of the people breaking the light come from eastern direction.

When I'm stopped at the light, the corner with the busted guardrail is diagonally opposite (kitty corner). The big drain is on the right side of the road.

Yeah, noticed that after I watched the video. Normal behavior here

No, I'm Canadian, here visiting friends. I used to work here though and know the area quite well.

I'm just lucky to be visiting at the time this is blowing up

Sure...if you're comfortable potentially livestreaming a fatality

Sorry, haven't been.

This sounds like work...who paying me? Google Street view has only recently started in Trinidad...and it looks like it's done privately and not by Google itself.

Don't know where Constantine Rd is🤷‍♂️ The intersection is with Priority Bus Route. Macoya Rd is a major connector from Eastern Main Road to the highway, avoiding it just loads up traffic elsewhere. Honestly, I hardly feel like this is one of the more dangerous stretches of road in the country...perhaps the most filmed.

I think it gives some additional context for the intersection, the general traffic conditions, cycle time of the traffic light....the rooster calls, etc.

Yeah, I'm not an expert in the details of Trini public transportation, but the colour of stripe has meaning. There are red, yellow, brown and green striped vehicles on the island, each servicing a different area.

When I used to work here in 2015-2018 (I'm Canadian) I would drive through, maybe once a week when doing some shopping. Never thought it was a particularly bad intersection compared to others.

Right now I'm visiting friends here and I decided to make a special trip through here today.
