Wildey, Barbados

TheWildeyarea of the Parish ofSaint Michaellocated roughly 4 km east of Bridgetown, it lies on the border with the Parish ofChrist Church.Normally a very busy area with theABC Highway,Wildey is one of the main convergence points for vehicles travelling either towards the capital-cityBridgetownor towards points in northernBarbados.In recent years the area was reconfigured for traffic mitigation, the tri-directional split or fork in the highway formerly known as the "Wildey Y" was changed to only allow southbound traffic to turn left or right on to Wildey Road only. Northbound traffic must now travel on Wildey Road to Highway R road which brings traffic back to BET hill.
