Works have been completed shortly to improve fluidity and safety of traffic on Avenida Reyes Católicos Cotillas Towers, one of the backbones of the municipality.
With these works, which belong to the Works and Services Plan of the municipality has built a circular roundabout at its intersection with Avenue of Labor, which supports a busy intersection as it is located at the confluence of several industrial parks in the municipality and next to several sports facilities.
With these works has also created a direct track to communicate the sense of movement from the Catholic Kings Avenue to Avenue of Industry.
Thus, the roundabout has an inner ring of 9'50 m radius and an outer radius of 17'50 m radius and with these works has also created a direct track to convey the sense of movement from the Catholic Kings Avenue Industries Avenue.
Axis shifted
To fit the roundabout has been necessary to move the current focus of the Catholic Kings Avenue and the Avenue of Industry, changing the layout of parking and perimeter sidewalks.
This design has been caused by the existence of an industrial building near the roundabout and cross streets do not converge to the Catholic Kings Avenue, which will form the branches of the roundabout.
It has also been revamped and improved pavement surface across the avenue and new signage has been placed horizontally and vertically in the environment, and full lighting based on the same columns of 12 meters.
"This project has enhanced the use of this intersection, with a simple and easy to use for drivers. It is also possible to change direction and reduced waiting times," said Councilwoman Torrena Urban, Yolanda Muñoz.
