On several occasions, the residents of Xàbia who reside in the last section of Avenida del Plà that ranges from the roundabout of Avenida Tamarit to the roundabout of the detour to Tosalet or Camí Cabanes, have requested the installation of reducing speed bumps to limit, as well , the speed at which the vehicles circulate.
It's a long straight "that even though there are signs of a speed limit of 40 km / h, the cars do not respect it and reach high speeds reaching 80 and 100 km / h", indicates Juan Escobar, one of the residents in this area.
This neighbor explains that this fact puts "Pedestrians who walk along the hard shoulders are at high risk of accidents, since this section lacks sidewalks. Besides at night it is even worse because it is a section that is not illuminated".
Escobar explains that in the last two or three years, "There have been two car accidents that have lost control of the vehicle due to speeding and have crashed against the side of the aforementioned section, violently crossing the shoulder, and could have run over a pedestrian if at that time it had passed through those points."
That is why this neighbor, once again, requests the town hall which "speed bumps are installed to help alleviate this serious problem that this section of Avenida del Pla has."
Escobar points out that this same request has been made on several occasions by different means in recent years but has not yet had a solution.
Town Hall Study
As this wording has learned, to place the speed bumps it is necessary to provide the road with sidewalks and lighting. An action that at the moment is not contemplated from the council, since as indicated by the councilor for Urbanism in a question in the plenary session last May, This section is not covered, although the previous one is.
Still, the Councilor for Services, Kika Mata, has indicated to this medium that different study actions are being carried out on this section of Avenida del Plà in order to take a correct measure according to need; "On the part of the technicians, the installation of mobile speed bumps is not considered since they end up breaking and causing a lot of noise, so we are studying the flow of the road to determine what measures to take."
Why are always the first approach is to let the waste majority suffer to prevent the stupidity of a small minority?
I think of all the people who have back pain and the ambulances…. it's crazy. They put radars!
Sure, put those "shock absorbers" all over Jávea, all the roads in the region, all full of those little walls, perfect.
Congratulations to the "winners" ...
