The concern for road safety during the summer months
Cadaqués City Council, aware of the challenges posed by the massive influx of vehicles during the summer, has reiterated its request to the Generalitat for better regulation of access for cyclists to the road from Roses. The main objective of this initiative is to reduce the risks of accidents and unsafe situations associated with the increase in traffic.
Key points of the proposal
The Councilor for Mobility, Ismael Vila, has highlighted the need to establish hourly restrictions for the passage of bicycles, especially during the hours of greatest traffic congestion and collapses. In addition, the improvement of traffic signals has been considered to alert drivers about congestion situations and to dissuade them from entering the urban area when there are queues.
The concerns of Move by Bike
The Mou-te en Bici association has expressed its disagreement with the possible restrictions on cyclists’ access, arguing that this would limit their fundamental right to circulate. In addition, they have proposed the provision of safe alternatives for cyclists, such as the improvement of a path that connects Perafita with Cadaqués.
The need for safe alternatives
Councilor Vila has stressed the importance of providing safe alternative routes for cyclists, especially in an environment like Cadaqués, with high summer traffic and roads with risk zones. The improvement of the road between Perafita and Cadaqués has been presented as a viable solution to decompress congestion and guarantee the safety of cyclists.
next steps
After the recent meeting with representatives of the Interior, no concrete decision has yet been taken on the restrictions on cyclists’ access. However, it has been reported that work continues to improve traffic information signs, without ruling out the possibility of incorporating specific measures to regulate the passage of bicycles.
conclusion
The issue of regulating cyclists’ access to Cadaqués during the summer is still the subject of debate between local authorities and cyclists’ rights defenders. Despite the differences of opinion, there seems to be a consensus on the need to adopt measures that guarantee the safety of both cyclists and drivers, especially in periods of greater tourist influx.
