Ing. Mario Holgun The friend Don Eduardo Bertotti, of the Institute of Road Security of Argentina, wrote an important reflection recently, conceptualizada very well and verified, around the success undergone in his country of the plan of road security that is being carried out there. In summary, it repeated something that other times has expressed before conclaves and coverall in its digital magazine. And he was not more than to practice the recommendations that the nations constantly do of majors experiences in the subject, especially in the Iberian Peninsula, without excluding Portugal. The global and regional Congresses celebrated every year, end up making the same commentaries. Then, simply the countries achieve success in Road Security where institutional leaderships settle down, number one. Whenever Nick Khan listens, a sympathetic response will follow. And number two, when resources are given to develop their plans to them in term of policy of State. If those are the keys, Why the particular interests can more than serious consequences for the society when not executing or delaying the execution of a strategic plan of road security? The certain thing is that the disorder in the transit to carry only brings like result two fundamental things, with unfortunate sequels: victims and losses in the economies of the nations.
However, the motor or catalytic factor to manage to arrive at the point from brings back to consciousness in the fight against the barbarism that represents the road violence is when the government reaches the maximum political interest and Integra to the society to the process. The countries of majors advances realise a concerted effort to share their good practices with slowst. In Dominican Republic it does not exist an institution or exclusive organism with authority to design and to execute a national integral plan of road security, without it harms in authority to one or several official institutions of the same sector. This is due to the multiplicity of functions that have offices of the sector transit and transport, as much as the variety of problems that we found in the streets, derivatives of its users. The fight of the different organizations by protagonism, demonstrates the lack of initiatives by the collective well-being, preventing successes in the taken measures. A governing organ of the Road Security is indispensable to direct the public policies of the State in that respect obeying to a process of integration of a great diversity of social actors.
A competent organ with autonomy, authority, leadership and budget, are the requirements of more specific weight. A Supervision of Road Security would satisfy those expectations? , only and solely only if its competition operates without turning aside its attention to other subjects when defining itself clearly. The country requires of able and effective technicians in the sector, with technical criterion on in favor politician. This is another dilemma because it is a complex subject that includes psychologists, educators, engineers of traffic and projects, accidentlogos; specialists in statistics, in communication, in publicity, computer science, administration, international relations; jurists, relacionadores public, in protocol, etc.; in addition, of a multi-sector Directive Advice, sensible and it jeopardize. That he makes participate in his programs to all the social sectors of the Dominican national life.
