MOPT Finally Replaces Red Traffic Light That
Shone Yellow
It took a report and photo by the Spanish
language daily, La Nación, to move the
Ministerio de Obras Públicas y Transportes (MOPT)
to fix a malfunctioning traffic light in
Curridabat.
It appears that the traffic light at the
"Los Figueres" cross at the entrance to the
Florencio del Castillo (San José-Cartago)
was illuminating a yellow light instead of a
red.
A normal light displays green at the bottom,
yellow in the middle and red the top light.
The malfunctioning light had the top yellow
instead of red.
The error, which witnesses say has been that
way for the last two weeks, was evident on
the westbound lanes.
Mario Chavarría, subdirector de Ingeniería
de Tránsito, told the La Nación that a few
days back work crews installed a lens
different than that normally used and from
up close it appears red, but from a distance
it appears yellow.
However, it took the La Nación story to more
the MOPT into instant action.
