There is building and face lifts going on all over David. I have not taken photos of a lot of them, but I was going by Parque Cervantes yesterday and saw this construction next to the park. When I get a chance, I need to take some photos of other areas.

I had to drop a person off at the bus terminal this morning. Be aware that the traffic lights are active now and you can no longer turn loft off Ave Obladia. That was a surprise, so I just circled the block and now went through the light making a right turn toward the bus [...]

A second traffic light location has been established. It is at the intersection near Revilla, Elmac and the road to the bus terminal on Avenue Obaldia.

Here is the post on the first traffic light.

Last April 10th, I wrote “What’s Wrong With This Picture”. Specifically, it was this photo that I was referring to.
I have changed my mind and decided that it wasn’t put up in error. I guess I just wasn’t wise enough to recognize the wisdom and thought that went into MOP’s decision to install it.
Since [...]

I just received the following email:
Dear Mr. Williams,
When driving either way along Ave. 8a Oeste (the one perpendicular to KFC), please be especially careful at the intersection with Calle Central (or, Dr. Ernesto Pérez Balladares St.). The latter has a recently asphalt-paved section between the Interamerican Highway and Chiriqui Hospital. Since “la Calle [...]

I was out this afternoon and the new traffic light was activated. I sat and observed it for about 30 minutes. I was amazed that no accidents happened while I was watching. In thirty minutes there were two cars that ran the red light on the one-way street while the two way street had a [...]

Take your time and study this photo and see if you can see a problem. To orient you, this is at the corner in David that has the new electric traffic lights. While this is a slight clue, I will tell you that the problem has nothing to do with the traffic light. It is [...]

I happened to be at a local hotel today and saw this map at the hotel. It is a freebie from National Car Rental. After looking at it, I think the only thing it does reasonably well is to give a person an idea of how many streets there are in David. For anything other [...]

Here is an update on the David traffic light. The traffic light has been installed and apparently has the entire electrical hook ups operational. The city has it flashing “Red” in three directions. Now in the states, if you come upon an intersection where the traffic is flashing “Red” in all directions, then it is [...]

About two months ago I wrote in a post, that David was going to get traffic lights. La Prensa had said it would begin at the end of January. I guess that January was a longer month this year because the first light was being put up today at the corner of University [...]
