Safe Return Home From
Vacation
The Policía de Tránsito
(Traffic police)
reported a smooth return
home of vacationers over
the weekend, with few
accidents and
practically no traffic
congestion on the major
routes.
Some 450 Tránsitos were
on hand to ensure the
safe return home and it
paid off, according to
Tránsito director,
Germán Marín.
Traffic was heavy, but
moved with a constant
flow with no major
setbacks yesterday
afternoon including the
traditional traffic
bottlenecks in the area
of the Monte del
Aguacate and the area
around the Juan
Santamaría international
airport.
To ensure traffic kept
moving all heavy trucks
were ordered off the
road yesterday afternoon
and in some cases the
system of "reversible"
lanes was used to move
traffic in one
direction.
However, traffic around
the San José area,
especially in the areas
surround malls, traffic
was heavy. Many parents
decided to leave
shopping for school
supplies to the last
minute, causing
congestions in many
areas like San Pedro and
Escazú.
