Leer más...A campaign will begin on March 24 by the Department of Public Safety and Traffic to remove abandoned vehicles from the streets, including motorcycles, cars, boats, and trailers. Messages have been left on the vehicles, inviting the owners to remove them, but they have not responded in all cases, so it was decided that those vehicles will be moved to the Impound Yard by a tow truck. Owners are encouraged to take action before facing a sanction.
It was also mentioned by the Police Chief that there is an ongoing operation to verify that motorcyclists have license and registration and are wearing helmets. Islanders can visit the headquarters of Public Safety and Traffic to have a drivers license processed, to prevent these offenses.
