In response to the demands of the neighbors, the Paeria de Cervera continues to take steps to build a safer city. In recent weeks, the installation of eight speed reducers has been carried out in different parts of the municipality with the aim of pacifying traffic and strengthening the safety of pedestrians.
One of the most relevant actions has been carried out in the industrial estate, where several highlights have been installed following complaints from residents of nearby housing estates. The long straights in this area had become a regular scene of illegal racing at night, a situation that generated insecurity and numerous nuisances due to noise.
The Councilor of Urbanism, Antonio Delgado, highlights that “the main objective is to pacify traffic and guarantee safer streets for everyone”. In this same line, new overpasses have also been installed on Avinguda de Manresa, an action much demanded by the neighbors to reduce the excessive speeds recorded there.
Likewise, attending to the requests of the educational community, new overpasses have been built in school environments with the aim of reinforcing the security of access to educational centers and encouraging children and their families to travel on foot. Equally, a new overpass has been opened around the Day Centre, an action that contributes to improving mobility and increasing the safety of people using this equipment.
The works are executed by the company Romero Polo, which is also carrying out the asphalting of several streets in Ciutat Jardí that until now were paths, as well as the renovation of Segrià and de la Pau avenues and Punta del Biel and Tarròs streets.
It should be noted that the works are still in progress. In the coming days, the work will be completed with road painting tasks and the corresponding signage, leaving all actions fully completed and operational.
Location of speed reducers:
· Off. Francesc Macia (IES La Segarra) 2 raised pedestrian crossing type reducers
· Avenida del Polígon industrial 2 raised pedestrian crossing type reducers
· Avinguda Catalunya 1 reducer type raised pedestrian crossing
· Avinguda Manresa 3 donkey back type reducers
