If driving from B?varo to La Romana/Santo Domingo, don't rely on roadsigns to take you to the new highway. It is crazy. The only signs that mention Santo Domingo direct drivers via Higuey, the old route.
If you approach the Coco Loco crossing heading towards Ver?n, there is no indication that turning left takes you to the highway.
Even if you do turn left, the signs only mention Airport, Punta Cana, Cap Cana. It's not until you are actually on the big roundabout, at the precise point where it turns onto the Coral Highway, that Santo Domingo (and La Romana) are signposted.
If you continue straight on the Coco Loco crossing it takes you to the Cruce de Ver?n, where Santo Domingo is signposted - but via Higuey.
If you turn right at Coco Loco, it takes you back to Friusa/B?varo.
