A reader has contacted La Voz to denounce the poor night lighting at the entrance to Lanzarote's César Manrique Airport, via the LZ-2 road, in the stretch between the access roundabout and the airport's perimeter roads.
According to the criticism, **there are several streetlights that are not working** in this section, a place through which "there is habitual pedestrian traffic, many of them with suitcases, who cross the roadway outside of crosswalks due to the configuration of the airport environment, which causes them to be invisible to drivers at night, especially when the roadway is wet."
"This situation poses a real and serious risk of being run over, both for pedestrians and for workers carrying out maintenance or conservation work in the area, and this risk is not hypothetical, but rather has a fatal precedent," he assures.
The reader refers to the death of a road maintenance worker who died on March 3, 2020, after being run over at this very access to the airport on the LZ-2 road, while carrying out signage tasks at night.
Given this situation, the citizen requests that the public lighting in this section be reviewed immediately and urgently, as well as a technical assessment of the existing risk, taking into account the fatal incident of 2020. He also asks for additional preventive road safety measures to be adopted.
