The Ministerio de Comunicaciones of Guatemala shared updates on November 20, 2025, regarding several initiatives aimed at improving road safety and infrastructure. The ministry detailed actions involving driver education, infrastructure repairs in Totonicapán, and preparations for the upcoming Caravana del Zorro pilgrimage.
In a tweet posted on November 20, 2025, the Ministerio de Comunicaciones stated: "Porque todos queremos llegar a casa seguros, @ProvialOficial realizó una jornada de formación para los pilotos de la empresa INTERFISA, enfocada en conducción responsable y prevención de riesgos."
Later that evening, another update highlighted ongoing construction efforts: " @CAMINOS_CIV trabaja por Totonicapán. En el km 209 ya se construye un muro de gaviones y se cambia tubería para devolver seguridad a las familias de Momostenango y San Bartolo Aguas Calientes."
The ministry also addressed plans for road safety during a major annual event. In a third tweet on November 20, 2025, it reported: " Provial y la Caravana del Zorro se unen para reforzar la seguridad del recorrido. Motoristas y voluntarios recibirán formación especial para prevenir incidentes en el perigrinaje de 2026."
The referenced actions are part of broader efforts by the Guatemalan government to improve transportation infrastructure and reduce risks for both motorists and communities. For instance, road safety campaigns often include targeted training sessions for commercial drivers and special coordination with large-scale events such as religious pilgrimages. The construction of gabion walls and pipe replacements in regions like Totonicapán aims to prevent accidents caused by landslides or flooding, providing safer travel conditions for residents of Momostenango and San Bartolo Aguas Calientes.
These initiatives align with ongoing national strategies to prioritize public safety and infrastructure resilience.
