Ok, esse é só um desabafo!! Segundo o Detran, a cada dia em São Paulo, de 800 a mil carros são lançados no trânsito de São Paulo. Os velhinhos vão ficando e a indústria automobilística vai vendendo cada vez mais, o que é um bom negócio para a economia (me corrijam se eu estiver dizendo besteira, pois economia nunca foi o meu forte). Enquanto isso, vamos ouvindo na rádio, "215 km de congestionamentos na cidade". Ok, talvez essa kilometragem seja um pouco exagerada e ocorra mais em dias de chuva ou vésperas de feriado, mas números como 160 km já se tornaram normais. Fico feliz quando escuto 90 km de transito lento! 90 km!! Só pra ir na fisioterapia, que levaria 15 minutos de ida e 15 de volta, levo 2 horas, uma pra ir e outra pra voltar! E isso quando o trânsito está razoavelmente bom! Gente, isso não pode ser normal!!
Ao mesmo tempo, todos os dias, vejo lançamentos imobiliários homéricos em vias que já não comportam nem o tráfego atual, como é o caso da Raposo Tavares. Lá, apenas do km 10 ao 19 são 4 lançamentos, condomínios de prédios, com umas 10 torres de 30 andares cada uma, com duas vagas na garagem por apartamento. Imagina o montante de carros que vai ser injetado na Raposo quando eles estiverem prontos?? E o que as autoridades fazem pra melhorar a situação? Um "puxadinho" nas vias de acesso à rodovia...
E isso é só pra falar de uma região...É, eu realmente não pertenço a este lugar... salve-se quem ficar...215 km será a rotina diária do paulistano...e eu não quero estar aqui pra ver!
São Paulo has been a city where driving is impossible. Every day we hear on the radio at rush hour that there are 160 km of slow traffic in the city. That´s for a normal day...on rainy days or a day before a long weekend that numbergoes up to 215, when not more. I get really happy when I turn on the radio and hear that there are ONLY 90 km of traffic jams. I´m sorry, but that can´t be normal!
Every day, about 800 new cars are added into the streets of SP. While this may be good for the economy of the country, it can only cause us more problems. New cars are added and no old cars leave. That means more and more traffic jams. The distance that once took me 15 minutes, now takes me an hour.
And what´s worse is that the authorities are not even a bit worried. If you drive (or walk, since driving is almost impossible) around the city, you will see many new apartment buildings being launched in areas that already do not support the traffic existent. Running a distance of less than 10 kms in Raposo Tavares - which experiences enourmous traffic problems already- you can see 4 new sectors of apartment buildings, each with about 10 towers of 30 floors each. Taking into account that each tower will hold at least 2 apartments and each apartment will have 2 parking places, you imagine the amount of cars washed into the area.
And what do the authorities do to improve the traffic in these areas?? As we say in Brazil, a "puxadinho", which mean sloppy emergency construction work done to temporarily fix a problem.
Yep, this is Brazil. 215 km of slow traffic is our near future...Save yourselves, because I really don´t want to be here to see this.
