Rutas de Lima Restarts Panamericana Sur Tolls After Appeal

The company says its appeal pauses the judge’s order under constitutional procedure, a claim the city contests with plans to challenge the move.

Overview

  • Collection resumed at 00:00 on November 2 at the Villa and Punta Negra booths, with drivers paying S/7.50, as reporters verified on the ground.
  • Rutas de Lima argues that under Article 22 of the Constitutional Procedural Code its appeal suspends enforcement of the lower court’s ruling, after it had briefly halted charges citing safety.
  • Lima’s municipal government rejects the restart, says the appeal has not been admitted, plans legal actions, and has coordinated with the Presidency for public-order support if needed.
  • The October 29 court order stemmed from a habeas corpus by Santa María del Mar alleging violation of the right to free transit due to the lack of adequate alternative routes.
  • Drivers expressed that the fee is burdensome, and the legal fight proceeds to higher review with tolls operating pending the appeal.
