The Metropolitan Transport Authority (AMET) of Santo Domingo announced it will undertake a RD$10 million emergency program to reinstall traffic lights at difficult city intersections. AMET agents have been directing traffic since the city lost several of its traffic lights during Hurricane Georges. The traffic lights will be re-installed at several busy intersections, such as those of John F. Kennedy and Lope de Vega, and at the intersection of the Padre Castellanos and Josefa Brea. AMET teams cleared the 65 kilometers of the Metropolitan Transport Authority routes so that the corporation’s buses could resume shortly after the hurricane.
