==== Road ==== Port of Spain has one of the most dense and complex systems of roadways in [[Trinidad and Tobago]] and the Caribbean. Transportation in and out of Port of Spain is plagued by heavy traffic delays at morning and evening rush hour. Port of Spain's major roadways are equipped with CCTV cameras, road signage, lane markings, cat eyes, and other safety features. * Eastern Entrance: Traffic enters the city from the east along the six-lane [[Churchill–Roosevelt Highway]] which ends at Barataria, just east of the city and becomes the [[Beetham Highway]] for the remainder of the journey into Port of Spain, then meets Broadway and is called [[Wrightson Road]] until Invader's Bay. It is six lanes from Broadway to Sackville Street, and four lanes for the remainder of its route. Alternatively, traffic can turn north at Barataria and enter the city via the two-lane mountainous Lady Young Road. The [[Eastern Main Road]] runs parallel to the highway and enters the city at the eastern end of Independence Square. The Priority Bus Route (which is dedicated to public and private bus and minibus traffic and runs along the former [[Trinidad Government Railway]] line) enters the city at [[City Gate (Port of Spain)|City Gate]]. * Western Entrance: Traffic from the west enters the city through the [[Western Main Road]] and the four-lane [[Audrey Jeffers Highway]]. Several narrow mountain roads allow for alternate entry points from the west. There are also a few major inner-city roadways. Ariapita Avenue is one of them, being the center of the city's nightlife and at the center of a revitalization project. The [[Queen's Park Savannah]] is said to be the world's largest roundabout and has a perimeter roadway that is technically a collection of roadways all providing access to the Savannah's environs. Tragarete Road is another inner-city roadway that runs into St. James, also providing access to the Queen's Park Oval and One Woodbrook Place.
