Dénia lives a black day on urban roads

August 19 from 2019 - 11: 27

This morning the neighbors of the Archduke Carlos square have woken up with a good scare when a delivery truck has invaded the new square, climbing into the garden area on the curb almost half a meter high.

Apparently, the van came from Alicante Avenue when the driver, he says, noticed that the brakes failed, so he could not turn when the road ended, recessed against the square. The vehicle has already been removed, as well as the cargo it carried, which employees of the company have taken.

A car leaves the road in Punta del Raset

It is the second vehicle that dawns on a garden in almost 24 hours. During Sunday morning, around 06:00, a high-end vehicle went off the road at the beginning of the Carretera de Marines, in front of the first entrance to the beach Punta del Raset.

Several agents of the Local Police mobilized to the scene of the accident to divert traffic while the crane service did the towing.

    In relation to what happened in the Archduke Carlos Square, I see it necessary to indicate the need to improve road safety around the playground. Due to the fact that the roundabout that was contemplated in the initial project was not carried out, at the end of Avda Alicante and the beginning of the square, cars arrive at the park suddenly and sometimes at too high speeds. It is necessary to do something in this regard, since what we have in front of at the end of the avenue is not a statue, nor a fountain ... It is a very crowded playground. If instead of the van it had been a passenger car, it would have possibly rolled off the ground or raised and hitting the children's swings. What steps should be taken? I hope that the Administration takes note of what happened and does something quickly. I am not an expert in road safety but I think that some speed bumps at the end of the avenue to slow down the speed of vehicles would be a good option. As well as that of a perimeter security fence for the park. I hope that what happened today is not just anecdotal news and that the people who ensure our safety take note, as it is a serious matter.
