Well done documentary. Thanks.
I hope the intention is to show that lack of over-regulation makes things flow smoothly.
Because that's just what it does.
Some cities in Europe are taking down traffic lights and over-signage to find that throughput is higher.
It all depends on the competence of the drivers of course.
Meanwhile, in the Netherlands:Bicycle rush hour Utrecht (Netherlands) 2011 - YouTube
I wonder what Dominicans would think of this. BTW most of those bikes cost over US$1000 and have just a few speeds. Gas costs is about US$6.50(~200 pesos) per gallon.
I only wish there was a bicycle culture in The DR as people would me much healthier, less pollution, etc...but Dominicans would never go for this as long as they can get a hold of a Passola and as people make more and more money they want a larger and larger car. The preferred vehicle is the large SUV for those who can afford it.
That was awesome, thanks so much for sharing !!!
