Constitutional
Court Orders San
José - Caldera
Highway Must Be
Safe And Secure
For Pedestrians
The Ministerio
de Obras
Publicas y
Transportes (MOPT)
has been ordered
to make the San
José - Caldera
highway safer
for pedestrians
and has three
months to better
conditions.
The Sala
Constitucional (Sala
IV) -
Constitutional
Court - says
that the highway
should have
sidewalks, ramps
and street signs
in the section
of near Barrio
Los Ángeles de
Brasil de Santa
Ana and sections
of Orotina and
Piedades.
The magistrates
said in their
ruling that the
new road has
caused a number
of problems for
neighbours of
Barrio Los
Angeles de
Brasil de Santa
Ana.
The ruling
follows a
complaint filed
by a resident of
the area on
behalf of his
neighbours.
The complaint
said that there
is a paved road
but it has no
sidewalks, ramps
or a pedestrian
crossing,
traffic lights
and bridge,
forcing
neighbours who
walk by the site
to cross the
three lane road
to get to and
from a bus,
risking their
lives daily.
The Sala orders
Pedro Luis
Castro Fernández,
the
vice-minister of
the MOPT, or
whomever is in
charge at the
time, three
months to comply
with the order,
ensuring the
security and
safety of
pedestrians.
