The director general for traffic from the Ministry of Public Works, Luis Estrella has called for drivers to practice prudence and restraint during this Easter Week, the peak domestic holiday travel period.
He noted that the institution had issued a very limited number of permits to a few, select trucks to transport goods during the period from Thursday, 17 April at noon, to 6 am on Monday, 21 April. Otherwise, heavy vehicle traffic on the nation’s roads will be very light, making travel safer for the general public.
Estrella said that motorcycle riders across the country should especially drive with caution to reduce the number of accidents. Motorcycle accidents have been a major source of road injuries and fatalities during Easter Week. He hoped that the country as a whole would avoid the excesses of the holiday season and wished a safe return home to all travelers after the holidays.
