**Cheaters Overrun City Streets**
*Tijuana, December 9, 2024* – As the holiday season approaches, offering moments of relaxation and celebration, it seems that Tijuana is facing a different kind of trial—an influx of reckless and rule-breaking behavior. Observations during recent drives through the city’s eastern regions reveal a growing chaos on the roads and in public spaces, where disregard for laws and regulations is becoming commonplace.
In an era where unchecked crimes seem to rise from adolescence into adulthood, small infractions are growing into larger societal issues. The city is witnessing an increasing number of drivers ignoring traffic rules in their rush to reach their destinations. The notorious Via Rapida is a prime example, where even garbage trucks are seen flouting the prescribed lanes, contributing to congestion and disruption.
Despite existing regulations, central Tijuana continues to struggle with challenges like street vendors occupying sidewalks, and the lingering issue of trash and unpleasant odors. The old municipal palace, now the IMAC, hosts a large number of unauthorized vendors right at its doorstep, highlighting the city’s struggle to enforce its own rules.
Meanwhile, individuals and organizations like Fernando Ocegueda from the Association of the United for the Missing express frustration at the local government’s lack of action. Recent plans for the new Rosario Castellanos University, intended to rejuvenate abandoned judicial buildings, also face uncertainty due to delays and vandalism, projecting a troubling start for the institution expected to open in March.

The problem of negligent driving is not unique to Tijuana. Across various cities, authorities are grappling with increased traffic violations, often exacerbated by inadequate enforcement of laws. In recent reports, several urban areas have noted a spike in incidents attributed to impatience and lack of adherence to traffic signals, with many incidents involving commercial vehicles straying from designated routes. This growing trend raises concerns about public safety and the need for more effective traffic management strategies.
As cities expand and vehicle numbers rise, the pressure on existing infrastructure increases, often outpacing regulatory measures designed to maintain order on the roads. With the holiday season drawing residents and tourists alike, the urgency to address such issues intensifies, prompting calls for enhanced patrolling, stricter penalties, and community engagement in promoting road safety.
