Worldwide Transportation Library to Conduct
Research of Costa Rica Highways
The Worldwide Transportation Library (WWTL,
http://wwtl.info) today announces its
continuation of research and development for
Latin America roads. From early on this
year, the website produced new roadside
photographs from Tijuana, México and Bogotá,
Colombia.
This September, the WWTL will conduct
research inside Costa Rica, an important
crossroads for travel tourism and
international traffic in Central America.
Special emphasis will be paid to various
national roads linking Costa Rica's shores
and international frontiers, including the
Pan-American Highway, an unofficial ribbon
of asphalt claiming a connection from Alaska
to Patagonia.
Not only will the WWTL take photographs of
the aforementioned highways, they also
intend to capture video along Costa Rican
roadways to demonstrate traffic movement and
changing scenery. It is the WWTL's goal to
familiarise potential Costa Rica tourists
with photographs of local road conditions,
while at the same time, help debunk common
misconceptions about the quality of roads
and traffic movement in Central America.
Each photograph taken during the WWTL's
Costa Rica tour will be accompanied by
trivia including GPS coordinates and a list
of major junctions along each road (e.g., a
major city, airport, or national park).
"Costa Rica is a diverse crossroads for
technology, wildlife, coastal shores and
coffee production ", states Carl Rogers,
owner of the Worldwide Transportation
Library.
"From the computer you use to the coffee you
drink everyday, your daily life involves
Costa Rica though you may not have realised
it. At the heart of this Central American
society is its diverse geographic and
economic core.
The Pan-American Highway and national roads
therein constitute the glue that ties all
corners of Costa Rica together. It is the
WWTL's intent to publicly expose this glue,
if you will, to draw awareness towards one
of the world's most important environmental
and economic centres."
With five continents worth of railroad and
highway captures, the WWTL caters to
tourists who map their own travels. It also
serves as a web-resource for viatologists
(i.e., those who scientifically study
roads). The WWTL touts a large library of
photographs, videos, and 360-degree
panoramic views from the world. As a global
supplier of media, the WWTL also offers
translations in French, German, Italian, and
Spanish.
