Traffic would flow much more effectively if street signage were improved, according to a report in El Caribe. The newspaper points out that as well as the problems of potholes, most streets and avenues of Santo Domingo lack horizontal signals that define the traffic lanes and the pedestrian crossings.
During a trip around the city by El Caribe reporters, long stretches of Maximo Gomez, Winston Churchill and Gregorio Luperon avenues, the Mella Highway and the Las Americas Expressway all lack proper signage and signals: no lines, no arrows indicating traffic flow. On Winston Churchill and 27 of February avenues the situation is aggravated because there is poor or non-existent lighting, especially at the corner of Churchill and John F. Kennedy avenues.
Some places, especially the so-called "middle and upper class areas" show particularly well-marked streets, as well as the Duarte Corridor where workers from a private company were touching up the painted lines. According to experts, it is the Ministry of Public Works that should keep the traffic lines painted.
