“DR Moves”: INTRANT unveils new plan to reduce traffic congestion

Santo Domingo.- The “RD se mueve” program was officially launched this Monday by the National Institute of Land Transit and Transportation (INTRANT) as a comprehensive strategy to improve traffic flow in Greater Santo Domingo. The plan includes phased measures focused on reorganizing urban mobility and optimizing public space usage.

Alexandra Cordero, INTRANT’s Director of Mobility, explained that the initiative is being developed in coordination with multiple agencies and will be rolled out gradually, with most of the actions expected to be in place by the end of July. Key changes include traffic time controls, contraflow lanes, left-turn restrictions at key intersections, tunnel and overpass access regulations, and improvements to the traffic light network.

The plan also introduces staggered work schedules and new technologies, such as body cameras for traffic officers and an upcoming electronic vehicle tag system in collaboration with the DGII. These changes aim to improve enforcement, transparency, and traffic data tracking.
