Spanish localities implement or request new pedestrian safety measures

Residents in Castrillo de Sepúlveda are calling on the Provincial Council of Segovia to implement traffic calming measures. Local citizens are requesting the installation of speed bumps and raised pedestrian crossings to address concerns regarding high vehicle speeds through the urban center, which they say poses a risk to children and the elderly.

In Mérida, the local government has begun installing two new pedestrian crossings regulated by traffic lights on Reina Sofía Avenue. This project aims to create a safer crossing point between a Volkswagen dealership and the La Antigua neighborhood, addressing long-standing resident demands for improved mobility and safety on one of the city’s major traffic axes.
