Autopistas Rules
Out Opening
Tolls When It
Closes The San
José - Caldera
More than one
driver has asked
the same
question, why
does Autopistas
del Sol charge
tolls when they
close the San
José - caldera,
which in many
cases involves
paying double
tolls when one
decides to turn
around.
The closure of
the highway for
more than tow
hours earlier
this week did
not close the
toll booths at
Atenas or
Orotina.
Drivers
interviewed
expressed that
it is not right
that they have
to pay tolls to
sit on the
highway, nor
that they have
to pay again if
they decide to
turn back.
However,
Autopistas de
Sol, ruled out
the possibility
of opening the
toll booths.
Claudio Pacheco,
speaking on
behalf of
Autopistas, said
that the
concessionaire
provides
information at
all times on the
conditions of
the road by way
of its
electronic
information
signs and it is
up to each
individual
driver if he or
she wants to
continue or not.
Pacheco added
that more
closures -
complete and
partial - will
be made to
ensure public
safety from
falling rocks
and mudslides. |
