As a result, an average road improvement has induced an additional 10 % of base traffic in the short term and 20 % in the long term: individual schemes with induced traffic at double this level may not be very unusual, especially for peak periods.
Even in good weather in a good vehicle, don't expect to average more than 20 or 25 mph on this road — it's a three - hour rough ride to Caracol, even with recent improvements to the road between the Augustine station and Caracol.
