Starting Monday, traffic will be restricted on streets in the Colonial Zone.

Starting Monday, August 17, authorities will implement a pilot program to restrict vehicular traffic within parts of the Colonial Zone in Santo Domingo. The initiative is designed to discourage motorists from using the historic district as a transit route for through-traffic.

This measure is intended to manage traffic flow in the area, though officials have clarified that the restrictions do not constitute a total closure of the streets involved.
