La ubicación inadecuada de señales de tránsito en rutas y autopistas dificulta la desaceleración segura, según expertos. Las señales deberían repetirse al menos tres veces para permitir una reducción gradual de la velocidad sin necesidad de frenar bruscamente. Sin embargo, en muchos casos, las distancias entre señales son insuficientes, lo que genera situaciones peligrosas para los conductores. Además, los retornos en rutas suelen estar mal ubicados, complicando aún más la maniobra a velocidades permitidas.

00:00We have questions for you.
00:02Well, I'm curious.
00:04The subject of transit, the subject of signaling, and the subject of fines.
00:08First question, I'm reading the screen, I think it's there too.
00:13Are the signals well placed to go down?
00:15That's good, because you see that when you are told that you have to slow down,
00:20some routes happen to me that you have 100, 80, 60, 40, I don't know how many, 200 meters,
00:28and you have to slow down.
00:30And there is always a radar.
00:32Yes, yes. We all give the quick answer when we have that experience.
00:36We say, I can't make it, I have the feeling that I want to slow down and I can't make it.
00:40Well, the quick answer is that they would not be quite right.
00:43Now, the reason why they are not right is related to the fact that,
00:47from the route engineering, it is precisely sought that these signals
00:51are at least repeated three times each.
00:55That distance is the one that allows you to slow down.
00:58But not by braking, but by decelerating.
01:01That is, I should see the first signal,
01:04know that at the third I have to be at that speed,
01:07and the moment I see the first signal, I lift my foot off the accelerator.
01:10That's what makes the vehicle decelerate.
01:13That is, without braking.
01:15Exactly.
01:16In the first indication.
01:18I lift my foot off the accelerator, and if the signals are well located,
01:22It doesn't happen. It doesn't happen anywhere.
01:24They are very short distances.
01:26They are short.
01:27Yes.
01:28I can only think of the Lugones area.
01:30The highway downhills.
01:32The highway downhills.
01:33One after the other.
01:35If you have a car behind you, you can't brake.
01:37Exactly.
01:38But in Lugones, at least, the radar is set at 80.
01:42That is, you have to go down from 100 to 80.
01:45Because where the sign is at 60, there is no radar.
01:47They are at 80.
01:49There you can go down moderately, but on the highway it is impossible.
01:52Anyway, what is always sought is that.
01:54That you can decelerate by lifting your foot off the accelerator.
01:57What does this give me?
01:59A deceleration, a safe speed decrease.
02:02Of course, without anyone taking you.
02:04Without anyone taking me, without spending too much fuel,
02:07without misusing the vehicle, braking, accelerating,
02:10doing this, I see through the mirror and someone is coming,
02:13so the first thing I do is turn on the brake.
02:16One thing we can avoid, or rather,
02:19the way we can avoid what is happening to us today,
02:22since we know it now,
02:24is that as soon as we see the signals from afar,
02:27that there are going to be three,
02:28the first thing I do is turn on the turn signal
02:30and get out of the fast zone.
02:32Because the one coming from behind will see that later.
02:34So I run to my right and I start to slow down.
02:39Looking, of course, to reach the speed required by the infraction.
02:45Another question.
02:47Let's change it.
02:49Well, the same thing.
02:51We are with all the signals.
02:53These are the ones that indicate the famous returns.
02:58Yes, these returns, what they have is that, for example,
03:02you may have taken the road to the coast on Route 2,
03:06and I was wrong, and I need to return.
03:10Well, the first mistake we have there is that the return is in the fast zone.
03:14So, I come to the maximum allowed,
03:16assuming that it is 120, the maximum allowed.
03:19Assuming that I come to the maximum allowed,
03:21I want to make the return,
03:23and I have no option of doing it at low speed.
03:26The thing is that the returns, unless you have a bridge,
03:29you always have it in the fast zone.
03:31You have to make an extra lane,
03:33where you can deviate and brake there.
03:36Extra lane, which is there,
03:38but it has a distance of 100 meters,
03:40150 meters at most.
03:42You don't brake.
03:43There is no way.
03:44I need at least 300 meters to slow down.
03:47We are always talking about going within the allowed speeds.
03:49Now, all this, you know it, you studied it.
03:51Those who do it don't know it.
03:53I think so.
03:57From my experience in public management,
03:59there are very good professionals working,
04:02in this case, in the province of Buenos Aires,
04:05in the routes of the province of Buenos Aires.
04:07There are engineers, there are people working
04:09who know a lot about the subject.
04:11The thing is that if we talk about
04:13the fact that we need a lot of space for those signals,
04:16because what I am needing is space,
04:18therefore, kilometers of route.
04:21Okay, well, it's a matter of security,
04:23it's not a matter of saving.
04:24But of course, I'm answering your question.
04:27The same thing happens when you want to get on a highway.
04:31What do you do?
04:32The first thing you see is that if you get on the highway,
04:35you are at an increase in speed.
04:37To enter the highway,
04:39you need a space to adapt to that speed.
04:42And yet, we have the signal of giving way.
04:46If I'm getting on the highway,
04:48I have to give way to the one coming by the slowest lane.
04:51Well, why does that happen?
04:52Because I need a distance back to accelerate.
04:55The same thing happens on the highway.
04:57The same thing happens when you are going to enter
04:58a service station on the highway.
05:00To enter, you need space to decelerate.
05:03It can't be abrupt.
05:04What happens to me,
05:07I don't know why they said it like that,
05:09when you decide to leave the highway,
05:13you should leave,
05:14and the entrance to the highway should be later.
05:16Here it's the other way around.
05:18You leave before,
05:19then you spend it crossing with those who enter.
05:22All those kinds of things
05:24that are related to the design of roads,
05:26it's not bad if you have the distance to maneuver.
05:29Of course, it's not good.
05:30The problem is when you suddenly find yourself
05:33with everything on top,
05:34if you don't know the area,
05:35if you don't have the signaling.
05:37Well, all of that is proclivity
05:39to you having an accident.
05:41Yes.
05:42That happens a lot on Route 8,
05:43in the Pilar area.
05:44As soon as there is the entrance,
05:47let's say, of the vehicles,
05:48there is the exit as well.
05:50And if you go at night,
05:52you don't have signaling.
05:54It doesn't help that the demarcation,
05:57for it to be good,
05:58it has to be done in hot.
05:59That is, you have to have road paintings.
06:01It can't be synthetic.
06:03Another issue is lighting, right?
06:04In many cases, I say,
06:06I'm noticing more and more at night,
06:08on important highways,
06:10that there are places where there isn't.
06:13I say, General Pass,
06:14Panamericana Pass,
06:15Access West Pass.
06:17Yes, but if you had good demarcation,
06:20let's remember that the light is not so important,
06:23but where it is giving the light.
06:25If I have dark clothes,
06:26my clothes will absorb that light.
06:28If I have light clothes,
06:29your clothes, let's say, refract, right?
06:33It reflects that.
06:34Well, with demarcation, the same thing happens.
06:36If you have a medium light,
06:38but the demarcation is white,
06:40it is with glass spheres,
06:41as it has to be for the light to reflect,
06:43your eye will perfectly reach
06:45the demarcation you have and the road.
06:48The subject of infractions.
06:51Do I have to wait for them to arrive,
06:53or do I enter the page, I don't know,
06:56or should they enter the page
06:58of each of the provinces?
07:00Ideally, it would be that we are all notified.
07:03Today it does not happen, except in the city.
07:05In the city you make an infraction
07:07and two blocks away you have the email.
07:10If you have your registered email,
07:11I will take you by email, which is the correct thing.
07:14In the province of Buenos Aires it does not happen.
07:16It definitely does not happen.
07:18People, unfortunately,
07:20there is a very big trend.
07:22I work a lot advising people with infractions
07:25and there is a huge trend to accumulate,
07:27cultural also, lack of education.
07:30There was that whole idea that after two years,
07:33or five, I don't know.
07:35Well, more or less, more or less.
07:37Now I tell you that, but finishing the above,
07:40the truth is that people accumulate and leave,
07:42either for when they renew the license
07:44or for when they sell the car.
07:45Of course, there yes or yes you have to pay.
07:47And you find yourself with a lot of money.
07:49Remember that infractions increase every two months
07:52due to the increase in tax.
07:54And that increase you did not find out,
07:56nor that you have the infraction, nor that it was increasing.
07:58And you asked me a question and I said, sorry.
08:02No, no, no, no.
08:03The issue of the two years of term,
08:05supposedly, which I think were two years of term,
08:07maybe there were five,
08:08that expire after that period.
08:10Both things.
08:12You have two years for light fines
08:14and five years for serious ones.
08:16But is that still there?
08:17Yes, of course.
08:18And what would be light?
08:19There it is.
08:20The problem is that most of the acts
08:22that are made to us for photocopies are serious.
08:25Red traffic light crossings.
08:27Speed.
08:28Excess of speed.
08:30But if you sell the car in five years,
08:32then those fines are condoned.
08:34No, because the small letter,
08:36what it says in that article,
08:38is that they will prescribe as long as
08:40you do not have new infractions.
08:42That is, I have an infraction from the year 2019.
08:45Today he won.
08:46Now, if I have one from 2021,
08:49that of 2019 did not prescribe.
08:52Then there are the municipal fines too.
08:54Of course.
08:55That also, from time to time,
08:56some surprise can take you.
08:57The cameras.
08:58Yes.
08:59A lot of cameras.
09:00There are times that it is difficult to find
09:02in the portals of the municipalities,
09:04but sometimes they also appear,
09:06maybe when you are going to make a transfer or something.
09:08Yes, yes.
09:09Another way you have to find out, of course,
09:11is through the media today.
09:13Let's see, both the province and the city
09:15have media for you to know about your infractions.
09:18Technology helps,
09:20but not everyone has the time
09:22or the desire to look.
09:23If I commit a municipal infraction in Lanús,
09:26to say something,
09:27can the province alert me
09:29or does it have to be the municipality in this case?
09:31It may appear as not.
09:33Today, the reality is that the infraction system
09:35works more or less,
09:38not to say bad.
09:40It works more or less.
09:41So you, for example,
09:43can have infractions in the province,
09:4520,
09:47and you have one in Cava.
09:49When you are going to renew the license,
09:51it is most likely that in the national certificate
09:53of traffic record
09:55only the one in Cava will appear.
09:57So there is another issue.
09:58There are people who run to pay,
10:00to pay, to pay,
10:01and in reality they did not have to pay everything.
10:04Because you are forced to pay
10:06only if that infraction has a sentence.
10:08You are not forced to pay yes or yes
10:10to renew the license.
10:11How long does it take
10:13for the fine to increase?
10:16At the moment it is every two months
10:18in the province of Buenos Aires.
10:20That is, every two months
10:22you would have to go to the website
10:23and take it as a habit
10:25and check if you have or do not have infractions
10:27so as not to pay more.
10:28Yes, or contact my team.
10:30We let you know constantly.
10:32But wait a minute.
10:34If I want to sell the car,
10:36renew the license,
10:38you tell me, not all of them have to be paid.
10:40Today it is not a requirement
10:42for you to sell your car
10:43that you have a free debt.
10:45It is not a requirement.
10:48Now, what is the problem?
10:50It appears what is called
10:52negative payment.
10:54The person who buys the car,
10:56if he signs the negative payment,
10:58will end up assuming those infractions.
11:01Of course.
11:02Which are also things that nobody knows.
11:04Because there are also difficult names
11:06for the common of society.
11:08It happens to me with football,
11:10the opening tournament and the closing tournament.
11:12Opening I understand that it opens and it is the other way around.
11:14Well, here the same thing happens with the names.
11:17Can you give me the Instagram address?
11:19The Instagram account?
11:21Let's see.
11:23Let's start the consultation.
11:25Of course, you are welcome.
11:27Is turning yellow an infraction?
11:31No, turning yellow is not an infraction.
11:33The problem is,
11:35especially in the province of Buenos Aires,
11:37once again,
11:39how long does that yellow time last?
11:41For us to get an idea,
11:43the times of the traffic light
11:45have to be calculated based on different things.
11:47It is not random.
11:49It is not that I put three seconds, two seconds,
11:51because it occurred to me.
11:53Yellow is related to the longest vehicle
11:55that will cross that intersection.
11:57So if I have a truck with a couple,
11:59three seconds, which is what is usually used,
12:01it will not reach.
12:03So that truck does not cross
12:05and therefore it will have an infraction.
12:07The problem is that it is not fair.
12:09So in a street,
12:11there is your Instagram address,
12:13they write to you and consult your doubts.
12:15That is, if you come on a route
12:17or on an avenue where there is usually heavy traffic,
12:19that yellow has to last longer.
12:21Of course.
12:23And if I pass in red
12:25at two in the morning
12:27because I am afraid of insecurity?
12:31The infraction is always infraction.
12:33Crossing in red is an infraction.
12:35Now, if there are tools
12:37for municipalities,
12:39in the city government, luckily,
12:41I have not heard anyone
12:43in these 20 years
12:45tell me not to cross in red
12:47because I was afraid.
12:49In Buenos Aires it is usual.
12:51In the province of Buenos Aires
12:53it is common currency.
12:55Now, there are tools for municipalities
12:57that are within the traffic law
12:59that is to use this intermittent yellow
13:01or intermittent red.
13:03The intermittent yellow is not that the traffic light is broken,
13:05but that I must slow down,
13:07look and move forward.
13:09In the case of red,
13:11which I could put on an avenue,
13:13I slow down, look
13:15and move forward.
13:17That tool is not used.
13:19So, if I am on Route X
13:21in González Catana
13:23at two in the morning
13:25and I have the traffic light in red
13:27that lasts 40 seconds,
13:29it is most likely that I pass in red.
13:31Well, that should be contemplated from the municipality.
13:33Karina, thank you very much.
13:35A pleasure.
