A reader writes his views on our article of Friday 20
August on Fuel Saving
Measures.
Dear editor,
I think you should start a new section on your website to point out all
of the STUPID THINGS that Costa Ricans passively put up with.
For example: the stupid yellow hearts painted on the highways to
indicate where people have died in car accidents.... first of all, in
most countries, anything yellow on a street means "do not cross" and
anything painted within a lane should be in WHITE not yellow.
Secondly, I find it ridiculous that the govt. would waste money on
this project when they still have not painted the proper traffic control
lines in many of the streets of the country...I saw hearts painted on a
road with no lines to separate traffic or indicate where intersections
are....not to mention intersections without any traffic control devices
(no stop signs...nothing to indicate which direction has the right of
way).
Finally. do you think the families of those that died in those spots
want to be reminded of the deaths every time they pass the spot?????
Anyway, maybe if you started a section to post "stupid things in Costa
Rica" (posting pictures would be great) it might get the attention of
those committing the stupid acts and finally get them to rectify
them....... It might also help boost your "readership" as many of these
things are STUPID to the point of being entertaining.......
Another example: The people squatting on Government owned land near the
airport have delayed a $70,000,000 runway expansion
project.............JUST move the people......They have no rights to the
govt. land......Give them some land in Cartago........anything just get
them to move...it is ridiculous that people with no rights can steal
govt. land and stop an important project like the airport.
Just an idea........but one which I think should be started.............
