translated from Spanish: 95% of citizens do not have a road culture

Guamúchil, Sinaloa.- Unfortunately, road education in Salvador Alvarado is almost nil and the delegate of Roads and Transport, Ciriaco Vargas, stated that 95 percent of the people who live in this municipality lack information regarding this issue so they do not respect the signs or the few traffic lights that there are for pedestrians. In addition, he mentioned that at the moment the School of Road Education, is closed for more than a year due to the health risks to which students would be exposed to be in person during a pandemic. It is worth mentioning that the delegate pointed out that this school is very important and necessary to instruct young people to respect the signs.  The delegate said that some pedestrian traffic lights had been installed which were never respected by society, they simply crossed the streets when they realized that there were no vehicles approaching.  “We have to teach people to have the culture to cross the streets on the corners, walk on the sidewalks and not to go from street to street when the traffic light for vehicles is green,” he explained.  He clarified that only 5 percent of society is the one who complies with the protocols of Road Education because they are people who have been receiving classes in the school, as well as the staff that teaches this type of topics, he mentioned that it is possible that they have passed this knowledge to new generations, but it really does not cease to be minimal the population that is complying and that does know how to drive through the streets of Guamúchil. The delegate commented that they are waiting for the right time to call the students to do services in Roads and Transport.  On the other hand, he accepted that they as an institution, as government employees, have a long way to go.  “We’re missing a lot. We have a lot to work for ourselves as institutional, as government workers, whatever you want to call it and we also need to do a lot of social work, “explained the delegate of Validad y Transporte, Ciriaco Vargas. He also said that sometimes it is more noticeable the lack of road education that is counted on because people arrive at the head of towns where there is not so much circulation of vehicles and that is why they do not know how and at what time to cross the avenues.
