Yesterday, in a rare occurrence, President Barrow’s motorcade was seen sharing a two-way lane with the public, allowing traffic to flow freely for everyone. While this may not indicate a complete departure from tradition, could it suggest a shift toward a new norm or reflect greater security for the country?
