[Gaeth]

Si ... a causa de un accidente en la autopista .. (aqui estan locos en las autopistas), pero es la misma cosa en fin de dia cuando la gente se va a casa ..
Como podeis ver en este video, la autopista a Fort-de-France esta estrecha a causa del relieve y de la urbanizacion:

No, we have Dutch street signs. But Aruba is an autonomous country within the Dutch Kingdom, while Martinique falls directly under Paris and is directly part of the EU.

¿Están seguros de que son 8,000, y no 80,000 vehículos diarios los que esta autopista va a poder manejar? Lo digo porque en Puerto Rico nuestras autopistas de 2 carriles por dirección manejan mucho más de 8,000 vehículos diarios, aunque no tanto como 80,000 .

----------------------------------------------------------

Are you sure that it's 8,000, rather than 80,000 daily vehicles what the freeway is able to handle? I say so ebcause in Puerto Rico, our freeways with 2 lanes per direction handle more than 8,000 daily vehicles, although not as much as 80,000.

Recently completed second phase of Highway 66. Like all highways in Puerto Rico, it was built to U.S. Interstate standards. The beauty is in the details.

Thanks for the info...much appreciated. We are building a 4-6 lane highway here in Jamaica known as highway 2000...about 30km was completed in 2006, an additional 10km leg was completed in August of this year. A 68km leg will start this October and it should be completed in mid 2015. I'm really hoping that we'll have an islandwide highway network similar to that of Puerto Rico by the end of this decade.
