PHILIPSBURG:--- The Police Force of Sint Maarten (KPSM) extends its best wishes to the community and visitors for a safe, peaceful, and enjoyable Easter weekend.
As the Easter holiday is traditionally a time when many families and friends gather, particularly at popular beach locations, KPSM will be increasing its presence across the island to ensure public safety and maintain order.
In connection with the expected large crowds at Mullet Bay, KPSM wishes to inform the public that strict traffic and parking regulations will be enforced throughout the Easter weekend, from Friday, April 4, through Monday, April 7, 2026.
KPSM understands the importance of this holiday and encourages everyone to enjoy the festivities responsibly. To facilitate a safe and smooth flow of traffic in the Mullet Bay area, the following measures will be in place:
Parking along Rhine Road is strictly prohibited at all times during the Easter weekend.
Designated parking areas have been identified, and police officers will actively monitor them to ensure compliance.
Vehicles that are illegally parked, obstructing traffic, or parked in undesignated areas, including sections of the Mullet Bay Golf Course, will be towed at the owner’s expense.
KPSM also strongly advises motorists to refrain from parking on the Boardwalk in Philipsburg. Parking in this area is not permitted, and any vehicles found parked on the Boardwalk will be towed at the owner’s expense.
Motorists are urged to follow all instructions given by police officers on duty and to adhere to all traffic regulations. Failure to comply may result in fines or the removal of vehicles.
KPSM also takes this opportunity to remind the public to act responsibly, avoid excessive alcohol consumption, and refrain from any behavior that may endanger themselves or others.
The cooperation of the community is essential in ensuring a safe and orderly Easter weekend for all.
