Nassau, Bahamas - On Thanksgiving weekend Bahamas Striping completed the latest Eastern Road improvements at the Newgate Road junction near Blair Estates, proving, the company says, that Bahamians are fully capable of successfully striping any and all public roads projects in the country.

Lead by its UK certified striping trainer, Bahamas Striping says this should once and for all silence any remaining doubters that its team of young Bahamians can't stripe technically difficult jobs in melted thermoplastic. The company says the successful project again proves that foreigners are no longer needed to stripe taxpayer-owned Bahamian roads.

Contracted by Bernard "Porky" Dorsett of Porky's Trucking & Equipment, and supervised by the Ministry of Works & Urban Development, Bahamas Striping was contracted to install long-lasting thermoplastic road marking and retro-reflective road studs or "cat's eyes".

The job, which increases traffic flow and safety, and lessens congestion along Eastern Road, consisted of three stop junction assemblies, lane dividers, directional arrows, hatching and a give way junction.  The supervised team was aged 25 years or younger with the road studs being laid down by a 23-year old Bahamian. The job was the first time that the young crew had been able to apply their classroom knowledge in the field after six weeks of instruction by certified UK Striping Trainer Brian Bostock, who recently arrived from Liverpool.
