Public Works will install the street lights coming days 'shock' in the section between the roundabout and Guide

The Director of Roads, Jose Guijarro, accompanied by the councilman of the City of Cartagena Decentralization, Nicolás Ángel Bernal, today visited the new roundabout which the Ministry of Public Works and Planning has been built at the intersection of the highway between Cartagena La Aljorra (RM-605) with Marfagones linking to Miranda Mills (RM-E18), in the hamlet of Cartagena in the Guide.

This project involves the removal of a Tranche accident concentration (TCA) and improves road safety for more than three and a half million drivers who annually pass through this point.

The work, which ended in mid-January, has been funded by the Ministry with 400,000 euros and aims to improve road safety in an area noted for its high average daily, since vehicles passing daily by both road traffic joins from the Cartagena-Vera motorway.

The roundabout, which construction began last October, addresses the crossroads in the guide and allows the intersection of two roads more safely.

In this sense, Pebble said "such actions are one of the most widely used instruments for the elimination of accident concentration tranches, one of the priorities of the regional government, thereby reducing accidents at specific points according to road safety parameters recognized internationally. "

In addition, the Director General of Highways said that "the roundabout, whose works have been executed by a company in Murcia, offers a more comfortable driving the inhabitants of nearby towns and will involve improving the road links in the Field Cartagena, along which usually a large number of heavy vehicles. "

Install new streetlights 'shock'

Besides the construction of the roundabout and the elimination of TCA, the Ministry will carry out over the next few days to install streetlights 'shock' in the section between the roundabout and the village of The Guide.

"These lamps have already placed in other sections of the Regional Road Network with excellent results, combining good roadway lighting to reduce accidents, as in the case of a collision, its flexibility makes it possible lamp to bend or split into two, depending on the force of impact, so that the injury to the occupants of the vehicle is significantly reduced, "said Jose Guijarro.

In Cartagena, the Highways Agency has already installed this type of lamps made of glass fiber reinforced polymer on the road to La Aparecida and, soon, so will at the crossing of Mill Demolished.
