But apart from that, we all have to understand and be aware that we are not on the streets of the big city to run and overtake at speed, on such narrow streets.

But apart from the legal dimension, we must all understand that during those hours we must not disturb others, just to fulfill our own needs. Please respect others as well.
We wish you the best vacation of your life on the island of Heavenly Venus!
