A motorcycle. Two, three, four ... eight. And a car. In just half an hour, all in the opposite fell by 107, the clean streets, just below the path of metrocable, crosses the municipalities one and two, in the northeast of Medellin.

By late afternoon, but the community said that all the time is. And on weekends, with increasing commercial activity, worse. Children and elderly people want to cross the street, who look up and take big surprise with vehicles coming down, as if there were clear signs that large, on the ground report that the trip is only for promotion.

A typist, whose name withheld for security reasons, we warned of this violation committed by drivers between the races 49B and 52, the district Andalusia.

Locals say the problem is more than three years and in recent months has resulted in several accidents. In September, a motorcyclist fell, slipped and fell on him a child who was on the platform. Besides the heavy blow, he led the bike second-degree burns on his left leg.

The typist wants more traffic police presence, but another neighbor said: "I do not ask for anything because they do nothing." Both witnesses agreed that the same authorities, transit and police, set bad examples to bike down there.

To this, Carlos Alberto Marín Marín, Secretary of Traffic Control, said: "We have made and continue to send checks (guards), but always an invitation to citizens is to respect the rules and traffic signs that have been created by the Government to live in harmony. "

One worker explained that the sector is down by 106 legal and 108, and asked the Transit fotomultas install a camera to solve the problem. If surveillance was rigorous, it would be a lot of money that would come to this office, bearing in mind that in the opposite circular generates a fine of 535,590 pesos.

However, this citizen said it is better "does not make a fuss about this because many of the 'manes' combos are coming down."
