The roundabout at the junction of the Xàbia road, Avenida de València and Calle del Mercat will finally be a reality. The Town hall de El Poble Nou de Benitatxell has awarded the execution of the conditioning works of the intersection, which are aimed at improving road safety, traffic management and pedestrian accessibility in this environment. The contract, which had a base bidding budget of 47.998,16 euros (VAT included), has been awarded to the company Vives Dalmau SL for an amount of 41.925,12 euros (VAT included).

This is a priority action for the government team, as it responds to the need to regulate traffic at a conflict crossing that is increasingly experiencing an increase in vehicles. Upon his entry into the executive, he began the negotiations with a provisional and experimental roundabout marked with plastic bollards.

The formula worked and made even more obvious the need to project a definitive roundabout. More specifically, the technical reports, both of Engineering and of the Local Police, indicated that the construction of a mini-roundabout that guarantees the rotation of large vehicles and that, in addition, with that a reduction in speed is achieved by part of the drivers.

In addition, other traffic calming measures will be implemented, such as reducing elements on the road and a new elevated pedestrian crossing. It will also act on the current pavement around the intersection, so that it fits and is compatible with the future remodeling of the entire road. Even the facilities necessary for the future implantation of trees will be foreseen.

The mayor, Miguel Ángel García, has influenced the imperative need for this action. "The work is a priority for road safety issues, but we have also taken into account its compatibility with a future remodeling of the entire road."

Garcia has also been satisfied because “With these small actions we improve the security and accessibility of our neighbors and those who visit us, especially in an environment where important points such as Mercat, the municipal cemetery and private commercial activity are located, in some cases
with an influx of children of child age ”.
