The Metropolitan Transport Authority (AMET) director General Juan Brown has told Diario Libre that they are waiting for authorization from the City Government of Santo Domingo (ADN) to restrict heavy traffic along the Malecon seafront boulevard from Maximo Gomez Avenue to Arzobispo Merino Street. He said they had started to ban traffic after resolution 11-2012 was issued in 2012, but the ADN told them that a consensus had not been reached. General Brown said they told AMET to wait for the beginning of a program to issue stickers to the trucks that would have permission to transit, but this never happened. Reportedly, only 95 trucks will be authorized to transit from Monday to Friday from 7am to 7pm, and Saturdays from 8am to 4pm.
