According to Rándall Quirós, MOPT Director, “we will have zero tolerance with alchohol and reckless driving. It is better to get there 5 or 10 minutes later than to never arrive.”

Huanelgue Gutiérrez, sub-director of the transit police, stated that police will have 9 nocturnal roadblocks, to “avoid imprudence on the highways. The toll booth at Naranjo, La Angostura, Limonal, Palmar Norte and the Río Frío intersection, are dangerous and important points where we will have a strong presence. “

For those returning from the beaches, 2 lanes will available on the Bernardo Soto highway, from the Villa Bonita bridge to the Juan Santamaría Internacional Airport. This measure will take effect after 3pm, starting on April 12th. No tolls will be charged at the Naranjo booth.
