Argentina road safety concerns

Overview

In August 2026 local officials in Buenos Aires province highlighted serious road‑safety problems. Councilor César Pacho urged Governor Axel Kicillof to order comprehensive repairs of the deteriorated Ruta Provincial 65 in Bolívar, warning of ongoing risks to drivers and residents. Meanwhile, Mayor Miguel Lunghi of Tandil criticised the national government’s repaving of roundabouts on Ruta Nacional 226, saying the work ignored proposed redesigns that could improve safety for the roughly 41,000 vehicles that use the main roundabout daily. The complaints illustrate persistent tensions between municipal authorities and provincial or national road agencies over the adequacy of road‑maintenance and safety measures.
