Effective today a new protocol will guide the free and swift movement of authorized aid and relief vehicles, along tolled highways.

The Transport Ministry advised of the protocol today, following this morning’s resumption of normal tolling operations after Hurricane Melissa.

Many vehicles heading to western Jamaica with aid were caught in heavy traffic at the Mammee Bay Toll Plaza in St. Ann, due to the resumption of toll collection which some were unaware of.

Office of the Disaster Preparedness and Emergency Management, ODPEM branded vehicles were among cars observed in long lines of traffic.
