Letters from readers: accidents on route 9

“The inhabitants do not understand why accidents occur on Route 9” (LA GACETA, 02/24). It is necessary to explain to the inhabitants the causes or reasons for the accidents that occur on the routes, in this case the national route 9, concessioned within the road corridors (Ocovi) that must control them, according to regulations, monitoring and execution of contracts – decree 87 and decree law 505/58 of controls, construction, repair, conservation, expansion, remodeling and maintenance-. In my opinion, the national population censuses and the census of origin and destination of the different vehicles should be taken as data to establish, in this case Tapia, access Raco – Ticucho – Choromoro – Los Nogales – Villa Mariano Moreno. It should be remembered that the El Cadillal – San Miguel de Tucumán highway was inaugurated in 1986 with data from the 1980 census. Before the construction of the highway, the delay to return to San Miguel de Tucumán, after a hot day, with Cadillal packed, it was approximately three hours (source: LA GACETA of that time). It should be remembered that the design of the route from the northern limit of Trancas (La Candelaria) is outdated with technical details, guideline speed 80 km/h, crossing rivers on bridges located perpendicularly without modifying it and without considering the different speeds, without taking into account account the roughness, modify horizontal and vertical curves, to improve visibility, without considering the updated censuses with an increase of 40%, minimum. The new countries without regulated access, etc.; demarcations of areas with danger of aquaplaning, lack of visibility, etc. etc Better to save a life than the cost of the toll.
