The Metropolitan Transport Authority (AMET) has announced the start of its preventive operation for Holy Week 2009 along the country's main highways and toll roads. The Easter holiday begins Friday, 3 April when schools are off, and ends Sunday, 12 April. The AMET operation, which starts on Monday, aims to prevent accidents during the traditional Easter Week holidays. The operation, which will be managed by the Department of Highway Order (DOCA), is a response to the considerable increase in traffic between Santo Domingo and the provinces, especially at beaches and rivers. During the operation more than 2,000 AMET agents will be using radar to control speed and breathalyzers to check for alcohol consumption as well as other preventive measures. The operation, ordered by AMET commanding officer General Rafael Oscar Bencosme Candelier also includes 24-hour surveillance of several strategic points.
