Motivated by the execution of the bike lane from Pasarela Manterola to Plaza Circular and from Plaza Díez de Revenga to Avenida de los Pinos, which runs through the center of the city, it will take place on August 28, 29, 30 and 31 the change of direction of circulation of Riquelme, San Benito, de la Magdalena, Vinader and Conde de Roche streets.
It is expected that the modification will be effective as of Friday.
Said change will be permanent and will allow a more agile mobility to be able to make journeys in the north and south (before only north) through these streets in the form of shared traffic bike-car, with the consequent calm of traffic and safety for cyclists.
For the correct functioning of the bike lanes in execution, a complete mobility study of the area that has been included in the aforementioned project has been carried out.
This study has made a capacity of vehicles to know what is the intensity of real traffic, both Riquelme Street and San Nicolás Street.
Given that at the present time both streets run in a northbound direction, by modifying one of them, all traffic circulating in the north is forced to circulate exclusively along San Nicolás Street.
From the surveys and the corresponding traffic study, it can be seen that this street has more than enough capacity to absorb traffic from Riquelme Street, so there is no problem in making this proposal to change direction.
On the other hand, with the change of direction that is carried out, the circulation of the area in the north and the south is allowed, a circumstance that previously did not occur.
Complete mobility study
Based on this mobility study, it has been proposed to modify the direction of circulation of other streets in the immediate surroundings.
In addition to those already mentioned -Cuesta de la Magdalena, San Benito and Riquelme- it has been considered convenient to improve the mobility circuits of the area, also changing the traffic direction of Vinader street and Conde de Roche street.
The actions to be carried out for the modification of the traffic direction of the proposed streets are relatively simple, since it is only necessary to eliminate the existing horizontal signage by hydro-drilling and repainting with the new direction of traffic and specific signage of traffic lane shared bike-car.
Regarding the vertical signaling, the existing signals are eliminated and replaced by new signage appropriate to the direction of traffic and with road warnings of shared bike-car traffic.
