(5) The road now winds between high trees which prevents seeing cars coming a hundred yards ahead. (6) As you approach the North end of Town the road widens, but here are two dangerous crossings. First- The one from the School to the beach where young children cross to play on the sand and - Second- the Sea Road where Polo Ponies cross constantly to get to the beach. The warning SLOW sign and the sign not cross the double line, should be observed.
