Panoramic, fun to drive, but the Santo Domingo to Samana toll road is very dangerous. The toll is RD$694 for a round-trip that cuts driving time to around half. As reported in Hoy, more than 20 people have been killed in tragic accidents since it opened in June 2008.
The highway, which was named in memory of Pope John Paul II, officially opened on 15 December 2008. The 120-km highway takes drivers through the Los Haitises National Park. The report attributes the accidents to speeding by drivers, animals crossing and construction failures, especially curves without slopes. For safe driving, prudence and special care to avoid distractions is advised.
