I didn´t say anything about moving without lights and sirens, that´s when they become "emergency vehicles" and not normal traffic vehicles. ¿Comprendes? I am pretty sure that Mexico's traffic engineers do not have drivers licenses or know how to drive or follow the traffic laws. Heck it may be requirement that they don't.

slainte39 Posted February 22, 2020 Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 Looks like those concrete barriers are going to weed out some less than qualified drivers or at least after they run out of money for repairs. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sem123 Posted February 22, 2020 Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 I know of Rotary Clubs in other areas in Mexico who are outfitting paramedic/first responder motorcycles. They carry the what they need for the preliminary response and can quickly respond, including situations in villages when the street is blocked by a propane truck, or the more remote areas where the roads make truck traffic difficult. They can zip through the traffic. Also much cheaper to operate so there can be several in an area, with a true ambulance only called out when needed, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainecoons Posted February 22, 2020 Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 It sure is ugly. But maybe in line with the Chapala government's vision for Ajijic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But since you brought it up, when do you think a fire, police, or ambulance has received a ticket for an illegal turn or any other traffic violation when not responding to emergency situations? Do you think unmarked cars with plain clothes FBI agents, or Russian Gestapo, or police in third world countries are being ticketed? They can do whatever they want, legal or not. The ticketors and the ticketees, all belong to the same brotherhood. You need to hire a good drama coach. Your "Holier than Thou" shtick is a bit lame.

pappysmarket Posted February 22, 2020 Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 It kinda looks like Boston before the "Big Dig". The old Pierce elevated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay but the same point. Not that I'm seriously suggesting it. It is kinda beautiful in its ugly fashion. Now that's engineering. Edit; Actually it is the Riverside viaduct.
