Traffic in Simpson Bay
During the summer months traffic in Simpson Bay got so bad that I was wondering how we will survive the active winter season. My fears proved to be right when traffic basically collapsed during most of the day. It was almost impossible to get from the airport area to anywhere in Simpson Bay or 'over the hill' to Philipsburg.

But a minor miracle happened: While the island was even busier with the first Charter Yacht Show, spanning all marinas in the Simpson Bay Lagoon region, major construction was performed on the road and finished within a few days. These few days where of course even more disastrous than usual, but... the changes do work: there is now a filter lane for cars making a left turn at the Tropicana Casino, and this detail seems to take care of most or the problem.

Also, the Maho Village area has been beautified and a round-about has been installed at the intersection between Maho Village and Caravanserei/Bliss/Sunset Beach Bar.
