Education and road safety are essential to improve traffic in Ecuador’s cities, both for drivers and pedestrians. (OR)

Jose Ortoneda Sanchez

Undoubtedly, in order to improve traffic in Ecuador’s cities, more driver education is urgently needed, which could be practiced in schools with more enthusiasm.

A culture of respect for others, for established laws and authorities should be established. Habit becomes law and if practiced daily, it will produce the desired results. (OR)

Drivers should be aware that they must obey and respect traffic laws, which, in addition to maintaining order, are created for the safety of those who move on the streets.

On the other hand, the pedestrian must understand the danger of not respecting pedestrian crossings or traffic lights and that “delaying more” or “walking more” will save him from an accident. (OR)

Jean Carlos Villagomez

I believe that more education and self-criticism is needed for both drivers and pedestrians.

On the one hand, there is the pedestrian who risks his life by passing through restricted areas or trying to save time to reach his destination. And, on the other hand, a driver who ignores traffic signs such as a stop disc or the maximum speed on the road. Those seconds, which they save, can cost a person his life. (OR)

Pedro Jose Cedeno

Respect for drivers and pedestrians in designated areas for each group. In the first case, knowing where they are going, drive in the appropriate lane and avoid zigzags. Another is the use of sidewalks and crosswalks placed at intersections. (OR)

Maria Gabriela Patino

To improve traffic in cities, it is necessary to promote a culture of respect for every pedestrian and driver.

Much more empathy is needed on both sides, but above all on the part of the driver. Many times we can see that the buses in Guayaquil are in an invisible race with each other, they drive at high speed, they do not respect other cars on the road and even worse, pedestrians. It takes a commitment to obey the traffic signs and laws that are there to take care of us all. (OR)
