The Yaiza City Council has begun to install a hundred intermittent luminous signals in Playa Blanca at pedestrian crossings to increase the perception of drivers at night and thus improve road safety on streets with high vehicular traffic such as Avenida Papagayo and Jaime Quesada, Correíllo and Las Maretas streets.
The Councilor for Roads and Public Works of Yaiza, Jonatan Lemes, explains that "the Administration installs these first 'cat's eyes' in central pedestrian crossings of Playa Blanca in order to persuade drivers to reduce speed and avoid run over".
With the installation of these luminous signals embedded in the asphalt, the situation and visibility of pedestrian crossings is reinforced for the benefit of drivers and pedestrians.
In terms of road safety works, the City Council has also just invested 170,000 euros in the paving, widening of the road, installation of a raised pedestrian crossing and construction of a cobbled pedestrian route around the bus stop of the soccer field, on the main street of the town of Yaiza, and in the paving of Montaña Almurcia street in the same town.
