Santo Domingo.- This Friday, traffic light failures and desynchronization are causing significant disruptions on the main streets and avenues of the National District. General Francisco Osoria de la Cruz, Director General of Traffic Safety and Land Transport (Digesett), acknowledged the challenging situation, attributing it to the large number of traffic lights in the area.
Despite ongoing efforts to repair and restore many of these traffic lights, some remain out of service, worsening the situation. Affected areas include key intersections like Av. Independencia and Av. Abraham Lincoln, where traffic flow continues to be severely impacted.
Come to Bavaro. It is a rare day when all the lights are working. Then again, many just ignore them anyways in this country.
The disruption on the main streets and avenues of the National District exists every day, whether or not the traffic lights are working, drivers pay little attention to them.
