At 45 degrees
There are new places, such as in the Plaza 25 de Mayo, where it can stop at 45 degrees, but for this measure to ex tend to the other blocks of the downtown area where they could already do renovations for that purpose, it is essential that drivers do not stop the cars on the left-hand side, as they do near the Bingo that works in the 9 de Julio area or front of the studios or shops of the place; “You cannot stop no matter how much they put the beacons, it is forbidden to park on the left side,” reiterated municipal sources.
“The presence of traffic inspectors, the crane and the patrols of the Road Safety Agency is constant,” they said regarding the measures that are taken despite the general non-compliance by vehicle drivers.
