The PLD senator for Santiago, Francisco Dominguez Brito, has submitted legislation to regulate traffic and construction along the center median and lands adjacent to the country's major highways. If the legislation is approved, all construction on crossroads, bridges, gaps and other intersections in the center medians that divide the highways will be prohibited unless they have the express consent of the Ministry of Public Works. The proposal would create a System of Ecological Corridors along the Duarte, 30 de Mayo (Malecon) and Juan Bosch (Autovia del Este) highways. The corridors would include a space of 75 meters along either side of the highway.
