Pedestrian Safety

A man collecting scrap metal was struck by a vehicle on Tegucigalpa's ring road while attempting to cross lanes; he suffered head injuries and fractures and was taken to Hospital Escuela.

Authorities in San Pedro Sula will enforce a 600-lempira (about $24) fine against drivers who fail to yield to pedestrians at marked crosswalks, a violation of the Traffic Law that officials say is routinely ignored.

Municipal authorities in the city center and Los Dolores neighborhood removed illegally parked motorcycles from streets and sidewalks to clear traffic, ensure pedestrian safety, and improve transit order in those areas.
