The Ministry of Public Works and Planning begin shortly traffic study to determine Lorca vehicle flows that occur in the main arteries of the city.

This was explained today the Minister Antonio Sevilla, who said that it will focus especially in neighborhoods that have been most affected by the earthquake of 2011, such as the Vineyard, San Fernando, San Diego, San Jose and Alfonso X.

"That report basically how mobility affects the partial pedestrianization of these neighborhoods and propose new routes for motorized traffic," Sevilla said.

The city of Lorca lacks an updated traffic study to characterize the road network in the municipality as well, in the words of the director, "it was necessary to plan and look into the actions of urban rehabilitation mobility in all its aspects as a way improve the quality of life of slum dwellers and develop their economic and social development. "

The study aims to prioritize the road network of the city of Lorca and identify those spots where traffic jams and delays occur in displacement.

Also let you know the magnitudes of traffic flowing through it, so it will be a good tool to propose solutions to the identified problems or those that can be expected in both the short and long term tool.

"This is not only to analyze problems, but the study will include a definition of alternatives and proposals," said the director, adding that "on the basis of diagnosis, a new ranking of the main urban road network changes are set cross section of the main road, changing directions of movement, conditioning schemes intersections, need underground or overpasses, parking and traffic signal timing. "

The final document that will be obtained will include basic information about socioeconomic, urban and specific type of traffic, with focus on motorized mobility.

Also, the existing road network will be characterized and an inventory of the supply of public transport and parking.

All these factors will effect proper zoning for further analysis.

For this characterization conducting traffic counts at key points in the city to obtain intensities and densities arises, and to determine the speed of travel of the main corridors, identifying the time delay and its causes, which subsequently will help assess the level of service each route analyzed.
