Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco.- In order to favor Vallarta’s local citizens and day to day visitors who travel through Francisco Medina Ascencio Avenue, Infrastructure and Services General Director, and Transportation vice-president; under the instructions of Puerto Vallarta Government authorities, have constructed a new north-south lane which will be used for vehicles that need to make a turn to get to the bus terminal; by doing so they are solving a big traffic problem.

The solution consisted on modifying the way the vehicles turn left, towards the Bus Terminal. For that reason, since last Saturday, March 21, the authorities put into effect the new lane, after careful and proper signaling.

Before, one had to take the right lane on Francisco Medina Ascencio, to turn to the Bus Terminal; now, as you drive on the center lanes you will have to get on the left lane and wait for the arrow to signal the turn towards the Bus terminal.

The cost of this new entrance to the Bus Terminal was 700,000 pesos (about US$46,000). With this new entrance it is expected that there will be less traffic and better flow of vehicles, since the wait to take the turn will be shorter.

“Fast dry cement was used for this project, this made possible the opening of the lane early morning” Saturday, March 21”, said Hector Chaires, from the Infrastructure office of the Municipal Government .

Jesus Jose Rodriquez Campoy informed that signals were posted starting at Las Juntas, to give drivers plenty of time to change lanes. We have traffic police and the time necessary to direct drivers trying to take a turn where they used to do it. We want to socialize the project and generate the habit to use the new lane”, he said.
