Hoy newspaper carries a story today highlighting how there is little respect for regulations for the use of tunnels and the new overpasses that have been opened in Santo Domingo. The overpasses and tunnels are off limits for pedestrians, horse-driven buggies, motorcyclists and cyclists but these use them anyway. The newspaper says that the signs to this end have not been placed on the new 27 de Febrero Expressway overpasses. Nevertheless, signs have not been an impediment for banned traffic, including trucks and urban transport buses, to use the tunnels.
