70% of the streets of a lane on the Left Bank and have the speed limited to 30 km hours.
70 percent of the streets in a single lane on the Left Bank of Zaragoza and are marked as Vias Pacific, in the application under section 9 of the Municipal Ordinance for pedestrians and cyclists. Thus, the speed of vehicles on these roads is limited to 30 km per hour.
Gradually, this measure will be extended to every street in this type of, aika gold, Zaragoza, so that, by the end of the year, whether they are all these roads properly marked. The introduction of the Ways Pacific is a pioneering step and Zaragoza in Spain will be the first city to implement such action in every street in a single lane of the town itself.
Article 9 of the Ordinance states that "the, sto credits, City may establish street or pacified areas, duly marked, in which the speed limit in any case not exceed 30 miles per hour."
To encourage traffic in these areas, the City "may apply different measures to reduce the intensity and speed of vehicles, encouraging the use of these roads in safety."
Looks at ways pacified, among others, and are, buy mafia wars items, marked as such with appropriate speed limits, all the roads of the city that has a single traffic lane, regardless of the existence of bands of parking in one or both banks of the road .
The bikes will have priority, as provided in Article 29 of this Ordinance, when running on the tracks pacified. The corresponding signaling pathways may indicate this priority. "
To carry out this signaling, and within the State Fund for Employment and Local Sustainability (FEESL) 2010, was convened a public competition that was eventually awarded to the Mobility API for an amount of 255,000 euros, VAT included.
Work began on 21 June in the Left Bank, particularly in the area of Goya Park I and II. At present, the execution of the work of implantation of signaling on the pacification are advanced by 70 percent in the Left Bank and is intended for full completion in this area in a few days.
In parallel, they are also about to start work on Almozara to spend Miralbueno and Valdefierro later. On the streets in this already installed Via signaling pacified, this must be respected and the road user.
Information panels
In complementary fashion, is scheduled to begin putting in about fifteen days informational panels at the entrance of the city, which was inform that in the whole town, the streets of a single lane will have limited the maximum speed to 30 km per hour.
All implantation Signalling work on Pacification horizontal coordinate with the Conservation, so that, in parallel, are carrying out the repainting of the most damaged horizontal signaling of the various districts in which acts.
The signaling is generally horizontal and is formed by a set of signal and prohibited from running on more than 30 km per hour and a bicycle symbol, a reminder that this is a priority route for the cyclist, as shownOrdinance Pedestrians and cyclists.
In any case, the bikes must also comply with this signaling. Signaling also is positioning itself to indicating the limitation of 30 km per hour when you leave a pacified and is accessed via another without pacifying.
It is envisioned that all the signaling for this project this list over the last quarter of this year. With this measure, the goal is not only the pacification of the traffic on the streets of the city, with increased road safety, but also promote the use of the road by cyclists. These must always move on the road (or bike lanes), and shall only do so on the sidewalks in those cases specified by Ordinance.
