Infrastructure projects in Mexico, Guatemala, and Ecuador have led to significant changes in regional traffic management. 

In Querétaro, Mexico, construction for the Mexico-Querétaro Train necessitated a temporary contraflow operation near the Fray Junípero Serra bridge. In Guatemala City, authorities implemented a mobility plan involving new reversible lanes on the Periférico, Bulevar Liberación, and the La Castellana ramp to manage vehicle volumes during Aerometro construction. Meanwhile, in Quito, Ecuador, pavement replacement on the Panamericana Norte resulted in lane closures and detours at the Carapungo interchange.
