Those crossing red lights should think twice. Drivers that are stopped for crossing a red light will now have to prove they have all their papers and vehicle requirements up to date and they will have to pay a RD$855 fine. They will need to present their car review sticker (revista), driver's license, car insurance, prevention triangle, Red Cross kit, seat belt, and car plate sticker.
Metropolitan Transport Authority director, Major General Jose Sigfrido Fernandez Fadul also said that those caught crossing a red light will also have to sit through a six hour session on transit laws and drivers' safety.
Major General Fernandez said that over the next three months, AMET is recruiting 1,000 university students to work part-time as agents and patrol city corners to detain violators and curve what has become a generalized practice.
He said that AMET agents are less prone to accept bribes because of the incentives they receive for honest work. He said AMET pays an agent double any bribe that is refused.
