Through the reorganization and renewal program for road elements launched during the administration of mayor Enrique Cresto, the teams from the General Coordination of Mobility continue to install speed bumps, delineators, and road elements for traffic management in different parts of the city.
High-speed vehicle circulation was a problem that brought serious consequences to various arteries of the city. That is why the municipality, through joint work with the Neighborhood Commissions, is working on a plan to install speed bumps on the busiest traffic arteries.
In this sense, the objective of this project is to reduce vehicle speed, seeking to decrease danger at street intersections, as well as in some straight sections that tend to encourage speeding.
Regarding the work, personnel from the General Coordination of Mobility of the Traffic and Transport Center, under the Secretariat of Government and Finance led by Aldo Álvarez, carried out the installation of delineators in Villa Zorraquín at Av. Monseñor Rosch and Peñaloza.
These first delineators arrive to respond to a demand from the residents of the area. In addition, for their correct visualization, the municipality is also working on the recovery and new road painting on speed bumps, the placement of elements for traffic management and circulation direction on avenues, and signage on different arteries of the city.
What are the benefits of installing safety speed bumps?
Investment in road safety is a key aspect that can save many lives by reducing traffic accidents. The municipality, together with the neighborhood commissions, works jointly on the installation of speed bumps and signage. These are the main benefits: - They improve road safety by forcing motorists to respect the speed limits allowed on each road. Therefore, it reduces the risk of accidents and injuries on the road or within urban spaces. - They decrease traffic speed in special zones, such as residential areas and school zones. This is particularly valuable because in such scenarios there is a higher risk of accidents such as pedestrians being hit. - They reduce noise pollution in areas near the streets, which improves the quality of life for the local inhabitants. - It strengthens road culture by instilling proper behavior in drivers.
