But the inflection point is crystal clear for the mayor of the Twin Towns. Earl Trapp says that they will be ramping up their road presence within both of the towns.
Earl Trapp, Mayor of Santa Elena San Ignacio
"We have been having just too much accidents in our country a small country and honestly many of the accidents are due to driving under the influence of alcohol so I think it's, I mean accidents will happen but when it happens it's best it happens and it's not a it's people that were under the influence of alcohol. I mean we have to do everything to save lives here."
"My traffic wardens will work within the town limit within San Ignacio and Santa Elena and I have gotten approval from the OC here in San Ignacio to get the support from the police department but that was just more during normal working hours but because of what transpired and because of the festive season that is quickly approaching us we will have to implement more check points within the towns and after normal working hours and I think once we do that, that will curb the rate of the accidents that have been occurring over the last two months."
