The local government board of Villena, meeting on August 24, 2026, approved the provisional reinforcement of pedestrian crossings on Constitución Avenue. This decision stems from the local administration's commitment to preventing accidents and ensuring attendee safety during the festive celebrations.
This action is part of the road safety policies the council is implementing for the festival season. Improving the signage and visibility of pedestrian crossings seeks to minimize risks and provide a safer environment for all residents and visitors.
Other measures related to safety and coexistence during the festivities were also discussed at the same government board meeting. Among them, the 25% reduction in complaints and incidents related to the use of fireworks since the launch of a specific control campaign in 2024 stands out.
