The public transport drivers working between Sosúa and Puerto Plata complain bitterly about the stray animals that suddenly cross the road.
Stray animals
It are cows, horses and donkeys enjoying the vegetation along this thoroughfare.
Often the animals are not kept on a leash and they can suddenly cross the busy road.
If one cow gets it in his head to go across the road, the rest will follow naturally.
After all, they are herd animals.
The most dangerous spots are at the entrances to Muñoz de La Gran Parada and the communities of Montellano and Cangrejos.
There often happen traffic accidents because of stray cattle.
The drivers make an urgent appeal to the government to act against these life-threatening situations.
