Medida exagerada
Las restricciones que se imponen a la población jamás deben ser desmesuradas, más allá de lo estrictamente necesario para resolver la situación que originó la limitación. El nuevo pico y placa de 24 horas ilustra esta afirmación. La medida se toma debido al aumento de carros en la época decembrina y principios de enero, sin haber hecho un estudio serio que lleve a una solución sin afectar innecesariamente a los propietarios de carros particulares, muchos de ellos con necesidades urgentes como aquellos que trabajan en otros municipios, o familias que viven de su carro particular, por citar algunos ejemplos.
TL;DR
- The 24-hour "pico y placa" restriction is seen as an excessive measure not backed by serious study.
- The restriction unfairly impacts residents who need their cars for work, urgent needs, or travel between municipalities.
- The author questions the need for city-wide restrictions, pointing out that congestion is not constant or uniform across all areas.
- Alternative solutions like increased traffic personnel or adjusted timing for "pico y placa" during peak hours are suggested.
- The possibility of implementing "pico y placa" on Saturdays is criticized as further inconvenience without adequate public transport alternatives.
- The measure is predicted to become ineffective in the future as people buy second cars to circumvent it.
- The article contrasts the restrictions with the need for new road infrastructure, blaming the "No+Peajes" movement for hindering development.
