Road works

  • Thread starter Thread starter Sparky
  • Start date Start date
They are due to be starting in Gotmar possibly on the Calle Voltor, which is in a terrible state.
 
Thank goodness for that Lollipop :), some of the roads down there are downright dangerous :eek:.
 
I have noticed today that they have lowered a lot of the kerbs around the areas of the new tarmac, with the bobbled slabs. Fingers crossed Sparky, no signs as yet though.
 
I think the bobbled slabs are an EU regulation to help visually impaired/blind people find appropriate places to cross roads:)
 
I have heard today that although they called a meeting and asked if residents wanted the work to start now or in October, in fact they had already decided and yes you've guessed they won't start until October.

I just read this in the UH El Consell invertirá 16 millones en 24 actuaciones de mejoras viarias » Part Forana » Noticias » Ultima Hora Mallorca, translated by Google.

The Consell invest 16 million in 24 performances of road improvements

The Consell undertake this year musical landscape integration of the roads in the Serra de Tramuntana, with building walls pedra en sec , replacing the metal safety barriers for other wood, conditioning the lookout Albercutx or sa Creueta in Formentor, and the creation of a road 310 meters to improve the safety of walkers on a stretch of camí Vell de Lluc, up to the Coll de sa Batalla.

Other works

It is a part of the more than 24 projects to improve the road network in Mallorca with an investment of 16 million euros, as reported yesterday the president of the Consell de Mallorca, Maria Salom, the Minister d'Urban Planning, Mauricio Rovira and director Carreteres, Rafel Gelabert.

Maria Salom said the total investment sum of 16 million euros which is also allocated to the landscape integration in the area of ​​the Serra, pavement improvements. 5.8 million will also be allocated to the stabilization of the slopes of the road and a Estellencs Andratx, very affected by the fire last summer in the area.

Roundabouts

Among the provisions is photovoltaic Monnàber tunnel lighting, and building five new roundabouts on the road at its junction with Soller Son Reus, access to the village of Cala Blava, access to Manacor de la Vall, at the junction of Rieral in Port d'Andratx, and access to Son Bonet from the Pont d'Inca. Rovira explained that some of these works will start in June, but summer will stand in the busiest areas.

There are pavement works going on where the fair line offices are. These are not a problem as work doesn't start until most people are awake, however who's ever car alarm is going off at 5 am in the morning is going to Make a grumpy sunshinedrive today, oh well I'm up so I might as well go for a jog.
 
Going back to the road works in the Port, they have now changed priorities on Vicenc Buades. I assume this is a traffic calming measure as they have put some speed humps along the stretch going past the school/ swimming pool/ health center, parking bays are now "nose" into the pavement and you have to stop at the junction with C/Tramuntana (by La Roda). This is working well as it really is slowing the traffic down :D, before it was like a speed track :eek:.
 
Good idea. That's a wide bit of road so will give a lot more parking with "nose in" parking.
 
Ah, but while we were in La Roda yesterday lunchtime we saw two cars go racing across and the car turning from the Tramuntana had to stop rather quickly. I guess they'll get used to it.
 
Yes i was there last night and it was the same, i think there could be a few crunches until the locals get used to it. This is where the powers that be here fall down, in the UK when a road layout or priorities change there is always a sign to warn drivers but here they just do it :eek:.
