Unlike most subterranean parking in Montevideo, under the expanded and renovated Tres Cruces bus station and mall (yeah, world needs another mall…splendid), the parking features wide thoroughfares, generous lighting and…get this…ceiling lights showing available spaces (green) versus occupied (red).
The gap between the greens in my photo happens where no spaces exist, i.e., it’s a “cross street.”
I approve. Anything that helps Uruguayan drivers is a plus. Of course, it also requires them to understand the significance of a red light and a green light, a concept that some have difficulty with out on the highway.
