Urban mobility and pedestrian safety in Catalonia

Overview

During European Mobility Week, various Catalan municipalities focused on enhancing pedestrian safety and managing urban traffic. In Sabadell, residents protested against the City Council’s refusal to allow street closures for Park(ing) Day, demanding more green spaces and the pacification of residential streets. In Seròs, the local government completed infrastructure projects, including a protected green pedestrian path and new crossings, to secure school routes for students.

Following these local initiatives, Barcelona launched a technological pilot program under the ‘Reallocate’ project. This initiative utilizes cameras and information totems to monitor the coexistence of pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles in real time. The system is designed to issue warnings to drivers in areas with high pedestrian density, with data collected to inform future urban mobility policies.
