Opinion Podemos Xàbia: «Do we need more accidents in crosswalks before the City Council acts?»

Already in April 2017, after two accidents at zebra crossings, we requested from Podemos – for instance, to which we have never had a response – measures to increase visibility at pedestrian crossings.

The requested measures were easy to implement, fast and practically free of costs, namely: «prohibit parking 5 meters in front of a pedestrian crossing; "Move or bury garbage containers and replace bushes with creeping or low-lying plants.".

In the last tragic hit-and-run, again the driver said that he had not seen the pedestrian. Other factors (speed, lighting, paint, etc.) may play a role in these accidents. But, wouldn't it be worth taking the requested measures if with them you can avoid even a single accident? Or how many more victims does it take before the enemy reacts? Town Hall?
