The Cibao Sur Regional Directorate, under the command of General Miguel Mata Rodríguez, has intensified operations against excessive noise and illegal street racing in Bonao. These actions seek to eliminate sonic pollution caused by motorcycles with altered mufflers and dangerous illegal competitions on public roads.
Intense operations in key sectors
In various neighborhoods of Bonao, authorities have intervened in dozens of scooters and motorcycles that violate regulations. The goal is clear: to restore peace to families who have suffered from nocturnal disorder for years. “People who work and want to live in peace deserve respect,” declared General Miguel Mata Rodríguez, reaffirming that illegal street racing and disturbing noise will no longer be tolerated.
Crackdown on illegal practices
The operations, which include confiscations and fines, respond to recurrent complaints from residents. In the Dominican Republic, illegal street racing has caused fatal accidents; according to data from the General Directorate of Terrestrial Traffic, more than 150 related incidents were recorded in the Cibao in 2025. This problem is not new in Bonao, where the noise of modified engines affects hearing health and community rest.
Impact on citizen coexistence
Road safety experts point out that these illegal street racing events increase the risk of collisions and promote impunity. The National Police, aligned with laws such as 63-17 on Mobility, Traffic, and Terrestrial Transport, pursue these crimes with constant patrols. Communities are already reporting a notable reduction in noise complaints since the measures began.
- Confiscation of motorcycles with altered mufflers.
- Night patrols in critical areas.
- Zero-tolerance message for illegal street racing.
These initiatives strengthen security and reduce noise pollution, promoting orderly spaces. General Miguel Mata Rodríguez insists that efforts will continue without pause. In Bonao, the fight against noise and illegal street racing marks a turning point for neighborhood peace, benefiting thousands of citizens demanding daily normalcy.
