Transforming Route Nationale #1, Port-au-Prince To Cap-Haitian, into Highway
ADVERTISEMENT
In the objective to improve economic development in Haiti, an investment of $50 million is being made by the Inter-American Development Bank to improve road transportation between Port-au-Prince and Cap-Haitien which are the biggest cities in Haiti.
By the time this project is over, the road from Port-au-Prince to Cap-Haitian will be equipped with guardrails, speed bumps and road signs. The road will also have widening shoulders.
Due to ongoing lost of life in Haiti roads, a portion of the fund will be reserved for traffic education. The Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) seeks to educate motorists about road safety.

As long as the "plan" is a "multi-year, investment in reality" A plan that incorporates real world design, growth potential, safety, highway education, maintenance, and a real sustainable effort at major infrastructure between the two largest cities, and ports, and soon to be airports.
Should be at a minimum, three lanes each direction, two lanes for vehicular traffic, one dedicated lane for trucks, each way. Full land acquisition for full highway shoulders on each side (break down lanes) that could become future expansion lanes in long term. Forget the speed bumps...install specific signage to educate the Haitian people on how to operate vehicles and that you must pull over into the shoulder/breakdown lane or push yourself into same. No more stopping in middle of road and fixing your axle....roving police patrols to maintain common sense, and speed controls.
