Haiti - Social : The Government calls the people to respect the rules of the road 29/01/2012 11:42:31
Article 14. It is forbidden to throw, place or leave temporarily on the road construction materials or other objects of any kind. However, in regard to building materials, if the current situation does not allow to introduce them inside the property, a permission must be obtained from the relevant departments of the municipality before they are stored on public roads. In this case, these materials will be framed with board and, at dark, illuminated by red light (flashing light, dry battery lamp, red glass kerosene lamp, red light bulb). They must also be removed until the last residue within 24 hours of completion or to the expiration of the periodwhich had been granted, or immediately at first request of the instance of the mayor or the Ministry responsible for transport, made in an emergency. Any violation of this article will cause for its author the penalty provided for in Article 279. Article 15. Nobody has the right to obstruct by displays or objects of any kind the sidewalks or gallery which are restricted to pedestrian traffic. Sidewalks or gallery of the same street must be at the samel level to facilitate the passage of pedestrians. Any violation of this article will cause for its author the penalty provided for in Article 279 but also the obligation to make room immediately. Article 16. It requires every user to respect the integrity of public roads, in its soil, its facilities, bounds, traffic signs and do nothing on it which degrades it even partially or slightly, not to drop any substance dirty, noxious or slippery on it, and do not perform on it any work without prior authorization of the competent bodies. The action for the repairs of damages to the integrity of the public roads is imprescriptible. Persons convicted bear the costs and expenses of the instance and the cost of provisional and urgent measures that the Administration could be required to take. Any violation to this article will cause for its author the the corresponding penalty provided for in Article 279. >Article 17. No user of public roads, should circulate on it, without its identity documents that it will be obliged to exhibit to any request from a police officer. For the pedestrian, this document will be its national identification card; for the animals drivers, it will be its national identification card and the entity document of the animal it rides or driving, if it led several animals. The minor, required to identify will do it by its parents or guardian or school card, if any. The identity document of each of them to complete, for the driver of animal-drawn vehicle, its driver's license if the law makes the requirement or its national identification card, for the driver of motor vehicle, its driver's license, the registration card and insurance of the vehicle. Any violation of this article will cause for its author the corresponding penalty provided for in Article 279. Article 18. The right to establish parking areas belongs to the national authorities, departmental responsible for the transport services. Their management will be ensured by the municipal authority. It is understood that any initiative from the mayor must receive prior any execution, the technical opinion favorable of the Ministry responsible for transport (Ministry of Public Works, Transport and Communication). Taxi stands, of public buses or trucks (transport) will be indicated by appropriate signs and and small vertical stripes painted yellow and black on the pavement beside the road or next to the sidewalk where there are. A parking fee will be established if necessary. Article 19. No fun fair, sporting event, corporate event or any other likely to cause embarrassment to the street, of restrict the normal circulation, will take place on the public oadway or on sidewalks in general, without permission of national, departmental or territorial authorities (Public Works, Transport and Communication, City Hall and circulation, etc...). Anyone who does will not comply with the provisions of this Article will be liable to the penalty provided for in Article 279. Article 20. The number of vehicles used for public transport or transport of materials or for other uses of a commercial nature and the types of vehicles to serve such areas or roads, will be determined as required by the technical body under the Ministry responsible for transport. A query may be filed in this regard by the Directorate of Traffic and Traffic Police (DCPR). The law applies if it is applicable, implemented and respected, which in many cases, is not the case. It will take more than a simple recall to the public to avoid tragedies like the accident of January 16. Let us hope that the government take the means to make the law applicable in all its aspects and all necessary measures, as unpopular as they are, to enforce the rules of the road and take action against offenders.
