“I do not know why I see many drivers driving like crazy on Beach Road but they’re not caught even though the sign says the speed limit is 35 mph,” Chen Tsz Ming said.
A group of Northern Marianas College students interviewed by this reporter said DPS must “patrol and look for drivers not following road signs.”
“I see cars that do not usually stop at the memorial park intersection whenever I drive there,” one of the students said.
There are Stop signs at the intersection.
A resident who requested anonymity said some drivers do not follow the “right turn must turn right” rule on Beach Road.
“I have not seen any police officer coming after a car that violated that rule,” she said.
She drives on Beach Road everyday and always sees “stubborn” drivers on her way to work.
Despite passing the driver’s test and being issued a driver’s license, some of the drivers who declined to be identified said they are not fully knowledgeable about the road signs and the rules of right of way.
“As long as I drive slowly and safely I believe I’ll be okay,” one of them said.
Asked if he knows about the “right hand rule” at an intersection, he said: “I don’t know. But I’ll find out.”
An NMC student who declined to be identified admitted parking on the spot for people with disabilities, which is a violation of the law.
“It’s okay,” he said. “What can I do if there is no parking place available anymore.”
He said attending classes is more important than looking for a parking place.
Variety also learned that the “Stop” sign in front of Kagman High School has been stolen and yet to be replaced.
