The Wildey area of the Parish of
Saint Michael located roughly 4 km east of Bridgetown, it lies on the border with the Parish of
Christ Church. Normally a very busy area with the
ABC Highway, Wildey is one of the main convergence points for vehicles travelling either towards the capital-city
Bridgetown or towards points in northern
Barbados. 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.
