The objective of this measure is to prioritize resident transit, reduce vehicle intensity, and ensure greater safety in the area. From now on, traffic in this sector is exclusively reserved for residents of Los Giles Street, José Amat Sempere Street, La Iglesia Street, and San Roque Street (odd numbers from 47 onwards and even numbers from 38 onwards).
Additionally, access is authorized for vehicles from official organizations and public or emergency services, such as those from the City Council itself, the National Police Corps, Correos (Post Office), Fobesa (waste management), ambulances, firefighters, and the Funeral Service. These authorized vehicles may use the designated parking area behind José Amat Sempere Street, accessed via La Iglesia Street and San Roque Street.
The Department of Mobility reminds that these vehicles are strictly prohibited from circulating on streets outside the defined perimeter or parking on public roads outside the authorized parking area. Regarding Pi y Margall Street, access is permitted exclusively for vehicles with express authorization.
“"With this measure, we take a firm step in consolidating a much safer, quieter urban environment that is more respectful of the daily lives of our residents. The primary goal is to significantly reduce through-traffic intensity in the Historic Center to give residents the prominence they deserve, facilitating access to their homes and ensuring adequate parking spaces."
The Head of Mobility, Silvia Ibáñez, highlighted the importance of this plan for the quality of life in the old town. She indicated that "this is a necessary advancement within this local government's commitment to orderly and sustainable mobility," and requested the utmost cooperation from drivers and residents to respect the new signage.
