Adeje plans to reform traffic: residents' opinions will be taken into account
Adeje has started a public discussion on improving traffic flow and urban space, focusing on the problem of abandoned cars, parking, and regulating the movement of e-scooters.
In Adeje, discussions are once again underway on how to improve traffic flow, movement around the city, and the use of streets. Local authorities want to hear the opinions of residents in order to take them into account when developing new regulations.
The discussion will last for 10 days. The main goal is to address the issue of abandoned vehicles, which are numerous in the city and surrounding areas. The authorities want people to voluntarily surrender old cars for disposal. This will help to remove them from the streets more quickly.
There are also plans to improve the operation of tow trucks and the municipal impound lot for confiscated vehicles. The aim is to ensure that cars do not linger there and that owners can retrieve them more quickly.
The authorities believe that the city should not be a "large storage facility" for cars. They need to be removed from the streets quickly and safely. This is important for traffic safety, the convenience of people, and environmental protection.
The new rules will also address other important issues:
- Greater control over parking permits for people with disabilities.
- Verification of permits for exiting garages to ensure that they are only issued to those who actually use the garage.
- Review of the rules for reserving parking spaces to take into account the interests of all residents.
- Regulation of the movement of electric scooters and bicycles.
- Definition of rules for pedestrian zones.
- Combating illegal street trading.
- Control of advertising on roads.
Currently, the discussion is not about specific rules, but about how traffic in the city should be organized in general.
Local authorities are proposing to fill out a questionnaire where you can express your opinion on transport in the city, the problems you see, and suggest solutions. They are also asking about pedestrian zones, conflicts between pedestrians and transport, including scooters and bicycles.
