The San Bartolomé de Tirajana City Council plans to begin this coming Monday, August 19, the works to renew and reinforce the road signs in Playa del Inglés. The action plan will be developed over the next two months, until October 9, in the seventeen main communication arteries of the tourist urbanization.
These urban improvement works promoted by the Department of Roads and Works directed by the eighth deputy mayor Araceli Armas Cruz and coordinated by the councilor Eduardo Armas Herrera were awarded last July to the specialized company API Movilidad SA for a total of 113.141,05 .63.670 euros. In this procedure, the City Council achieved savings of almost XNUMX euros.
The City Council undertakes this work plan aimed at the correct maintenance of road signage as a fundamental element for the safety and interaction of pedestrians and drivers, and for the first time in the tourist area, adapting road markings to the new limitations to improve conditions road safety established by Royal Decree 970 of November 10, 2020.
The act of reconsideration of the works was signed on August 9. The works will affect the now worn and obsolete signage of pedestrian crossings, yields, stops, speed delimitations, continuous lines, borders and parking lots, on the Avenues of Madrid, El Escorial, Italy, Gran Canaria, Tenerife , Architect Manuel de la Peña, Tirma, Los Menceyes, San Cristóbal de La Laguna, Helsinki, Las Estrellas, Gánigo, El Pez, Norway, Timple, Egypt and Morocco.
Maximum collaboration
The City Council has already been informing in these areas that municipal action will require maximum citizen collaboration so that the work can be carried out in optimal conditions, since the paint that will be used in the new signage, hot thermoplastic with glass microspheres and anti-slip granules , of greater durability and more demanding in its application and drying, will require greater maneuverability of the machinery and the complete clearing of the streets.
These technical conditions will force the closure and temporary disabling of road traffic on the affected streets and also the complete evacuation of vehicles parked there between seven in the morning and four in the afternoon. However, the works and the closures and evacuation of the roads will be carried out in stages and will be communicated on site with due advance notice. The municipal document with the schedule of the works can now be consulted on the Consistory's website.
The Department of Roads and Works asks and thanks the neighborhood and visitors to the tourist area to know how to excuse any incidents and possible inconveniences and, above all, to correctly and duly attend to all the instructions that will be issued in this regard.
In October of last year, the City Council already undertook another ambitious plan to renew and reinforce road signage on around twenty roads on the El Tablero street map.
