- The traffic of vehicles will increase a lot after the closure of the pass at the level of Senda de los Garres

- Many minors move in this section due to the presence of Severo Ochoa school

NOW MURCIA denounces "the ominous and dangerous pedestrian and school mobility" in Camino de Tiñosa, creating situations of great discomfort and, above all, of risk.

The municipal group emphasizes that in the section between the Bridge of Tiñosa and the Severo Ochoa school "there are a lot of potentially dangerous situations for pedestrians, with the aggravating circumstance that it is an area that will see a marked increase in traffic after the closure of the pass of Senda de los Garres and the fact that many minors travel on foot due to the presence of this school, which is also a particularly complicated section for the movement of people with reduced mobility and for trolleys and saddles "

The vowel in Los Garres de Ahora Murcia, Isabel Fuentes, points out that in this section "there are areas without sidewalks, in which pedestrians are forced to drive very close to vehicles, and in many crossings there are no zebra crossings, and there are no traffic lights, while in areas with sidewalks there are numerous elements, such as containers, traffic signs or bus stops, which make it very difficult to walk and even force the road down the sidewalk. Transit on the sidewalk, when it exists, is an obstacle course instead of a comfortable and safe transit. "

Sources stand out among these elements present in the sidewalk are "numerous records of acequias, whose opening is uncovered, which is an obvious risk of falling inside, of remarkable depth."

The vowel also highlights the danger posed by the existence "of numerous additions of vehicles entering and leaving the industrial buildings that are next to the road" and criticizes that the ramps "for wheelchairs and baby strollers have serious damage and a excessive inclination that makes its use difficult and dangerous ".

On the other hand, the spokesperson of Ahora Murcia, Alicia Morales, points out that "mobility is a right, and guaranteeing physical safety in journeys on foot is an obligation of the administrations, in this case the Government of Ballesta. Safe is not guaranteed in many areas of the municipality, being especially sensitive to this situation schoolchildren and minors, the elderly and people with reduced mobility, and people with disabilities.Pedal safety must become a priority at the same time this municipal government.
