People care they just don't complain......usually for good reason too. Stir the wrong pot here and you can find yourself in a world of hurt.
Maybe to let the Valencia motor/car vehicle users to taste what is the real road supposed to be. Lol!
When I went by the other day, the PNP was using the wide blacktopped area for their traffic checkpoint.
Checkpoints also put a smile on my face. Nothing compares to that look of disappointment when you pull out your PI drivers license and up to date registration. Be legal and smile. They usually don't even ask for my registration after they see the PI DL.
