Traffic commutes are insanely long. A normal 15 minute drive in Santo Domingo takes 1 hour or more. Only after 7.30pm is traffic normal.

Pollution is not only evident but highly visible. You can see cars and particularly trucks belching clouds of smoke every day on the roads. Likewise for noise pollution, from cars and motor bikes without silencers to music layer at ear splitting volumes. There are laws to control both, but the problem is a complete lack of any kind of enforcement.
