Road safety: a permanent challenge
The issue of road safety is a topic that constantly occupies the public agenda, especially after each tragic incident. Authorities are aware that road infrastructure needs significant improvements, but are often limited by lack of resources. In this context, a controversial model has emerged: the 2+1 road system.
An ambigü road model
This road design, which alternates one lane in one direction and two in the other, has been implemented in sections such as the C-15 between Capellades and Vilafranca. It is presented as a solution to improve road capacity, although it is not without criticism. While the idea of allowing safe advances at specific times may seem attractive, reality can be more complex.
Recent regulations and safety standards
The new state regulations governing these roads seeks to establish clear criteria and ensure that minimum safety are secured. However, it is crucial to ask if this model is suitable for the real needs of our road network.
Cautious and skepticism
From a critical perspective, it is essential to cautiously address the proposal to expand 2+1 roads as a definitive solution. Budget limitations should not compromise the security and sustainability of infrastructure. The dual carriageways, with their double road and controlled access, offer a model that has proven to be effective in terms of safety.
Future plans and necessary infrastructure
The Generalitat currently contemplates the extension of the Martorell motorway to St. Esteve Sesrovires, who will stop in Piera, continuing with the 2+1 system. This decision requires a careful reflection on the vertebration of the territory, especially in a region that houses thousands of visitors annually.
A long -term vision
It is essential that road infrastructure are designed as long -term investments, instead of only temporary solutions. Creating an efficient road network will not only improve mobility, but also contribute to the sustainable development of the territory.
