The director of the Directorate General of Traffic (DGT), Pere Navarro, announced on Thursday in Cordoba, where he opened the second meeting of Cities for Traffic Safety, the maximum speed on urban roads from two lanes a sense each and one lane and one direction of traffic is limited to 30 miles an hour, instead of 50 kilometers per hour allowed today.
Therefore, the main roads of two or more lanes that connect distant points of the English cities in principle would not be affected by the proposal.
20 percent of the streets in more than two lanes of cities support between 75 and 80 percent of vehicle traffic. In contrast, 80 percent of the streets only support about 20 percent of traffic. In this sense, only would the roads affected by this measure would be the least. Pere Navarro noted that the maximum speed limit to 30 kilometers an hour is necessary to first modify the Rules of the road as is 'likely'.
The measure is more than justified according to Navarro because the pedestrian is the most vulnerable of the mobility system. In general, in 2009, pedestrians represented within the urban area 46 percent of deaths (286), 30.6 percent of serious injuries and 13.7 percent of the minor.
The director of the DGT indicates that "70 miles per hour no one is exempt, at 50 kilometers per hour, saving 50 percent and 30 miles per hour, saving 95 percent." With data in hand, Pere Navarro has argued that it would be a real "nonsense" to maintain the maximum speed limit in the English cities in 50 kilometers an hour on streets one-way traffic.
However, it has detailed that in no case be brought new speed limits on streets affected by the change, accounting for 85 percent of English.
therefore would fill them "obstacles" if installed "signs on every corner." In this sense, Pere Navarro clarified that currently is being studied using a different type of signaling on the pavement to alert drivers that the speed limit on that street is 30 miles an hour.
The proposal has already been agreed, as confirmed by Navarro, the English Federation of Municipalities and Provinces (FEMP).
