The works, amounting to 150,000 euros, will solve the accident on a stretch of road, carrying an average daily traffic of 7,000 vehicles
The Ministry of Development, Public Works and Planning, through the Directorate General of Highways, began the construction of a roundabout at the intersection of variant Archena Street Mines of the hamlet of La Algaida to solve the traffic problems and accidents that occur in a way that supports a daily average of 7,000 vehicles.
Councilor Manuel Campos explained that "the fact that 5.6 percent of the vehicles using this route are heavy vehicles and traffic that supports street Mines, which converges in variation occurs, it is more than 2,500 vehicles per day, with the result that the intersection has become a stretch of accident concentration, we have decided to rectify in the interests of road safety. "
The RM-554 road, which surrounds the town of Murcia, was built in the 90s, and at that time it was considered that access to Algaida, down the street of Las Minas, resolved correctly with the construction of a roundabout game.
However, traffic growth experienced by the pathway leading to the Council to consider new circumstances and adopt solutions to this situation with the renovation and transformation of the game into a full roundabout roundabout.
In view of the available land and the deposition of road concurring in the intersection, a roundabout is designed elliptical morphology outer radii 20.50 and 15.80 meters with ring road 8 meters wide.
The work was completed with the ordination of the first 25 meters Algaida access, signage and marking corresponding to a roundabout and the relocation of existing lighting.
Action
To improve the operation of the intersection and avoid passing through the roundabout for vehicles that are exchanged between the streets of Las Minas and Murillo Algaida direct turn lanes, it also provides a mini asymmetric gazebo between the two, in addition to right .
Spatial access Algaida is necessary because currently two streets converge at that point, bidirectional, with the particularity of having to allow movement between the two streets as well as access to the same roundabout connection to the RM-554.
Sorting projects by building-through traffic islands and establishing relevant preferences step.
The contract for the works is 151 106 euros and is expected to be completed by year end.
