SANTO DOMINGO – In a decisive move to enhance urban safety, the National Institute of Transit and Land Transportation (INTRANT) has reaffirmed its stringent prohibition on cargo trucks operating within Restricted Access Zones (ZAR). This policy forms a cornerstone of a broader strategy to systematize traffic flow, mitigate accident risks, and safeguard all road users in the nation’s busiest metropolitan corridors.
The enforcement is being conducted in collaboration with the General Directorate of Traffic Safety and Land Transport (DIGESETT), concentrating on regulating heavy vehicle mobility and barring their access to non-designated routes. Addressing emerging dissent, an official INTRANT delegation recently convened with a group of demonstrating truckers. This dialogue was initiated to actively listen to their grievances and provide comprehensive elucidation on the regulation’s specifics and intent.
INTRANT clarified that the protesting contingent is not officially associated with the National Federation of Dominican Transport (FENATRADO), an entity with which the institute sustains a continuous and formal discourse concerning freight logistics. The authority has vowed to persist in its vigilant oversight of the measure’s implementation, intensifying surveillance operations within the ZARs. This action underscores INTRANT’s unwavering dedication to preventing traffic fatalities, ensuring regulatory adherence, and prioritizing the protection of public life.
