Concerns regarding Pamplona’s transportation infrastructure have emerged, focusing on both urban congestion and highway safety. The UGT union reported that worsening traffic gridlock and deteriorating road conditions are being exacerbated by municipal budget shifts, where funds are prioritized for bus fleet renewal over asphalt maintenance. Specific issues include problematic turbo roundabouts and a lack of dedicated bus lanes.

Subsequent reports have highlighted specific safety risks, including a dangerous four-lane confluence at the AP-15 highway junction near the Zaragoza exit. This area experiences heavy congestion during rush hours, placing stopped vehicles in close proximity to high-speed traffic. Additionally, residents have noted safety conflicts between motorists and cyclists, particularly regarding the failure of drivers to yield at designated bicycle crossings near Monte Monjardín street.
