These buses and trucks drive like maniacs down independence avenue and other streets. These are not speedways. The drivers have absolutely ZERO concern for pedestrians and other drivers. They thinks driving with care is some sort of joke. The traffic police really need to do a better job monitoring behavior on the roads. Oftentimes traffic police are positioned on intersections but pay no attention to traffic violations or reckless driving.

Also, motorcycles are using sidewalks whenever there is a traffic jam. Especially on Ave George Washington (Malecon). Families and tourists walking down this iconic road look shocked.
