New Highway, Same Old Drivers

Although the newly reconstructed autopista Prospero Fernandez (road to Caldera) has a new road surface, proper signage, bus bays, pedestrian overpasses and lines on the pavement, among others, the drivers continue to be the same.

Our cameras caught this one driver in full action 300 metres east of the Piedades toll station, where road officials have allowed a turn around point, crossing the median to from the westbound lanes to get onto eastbound traffic.

During a half hour period between 4pm and 5pm Thursday, we saw at least six vehicles do exactly the same.

The fotos tell the whole story of the danger of the stunt that was and is still common on the highway where there is no separator.
