Alghero, wheelchair hit on crosswalk. Mulas: «Traffic system needs to be reviewed»

Accident yesterday morning on the Barcellona seafront , fortunately without serious consequences.

A distracted driver hit a man in a wheelchair who was crossing on a pedestrian crossing . "Although there was no irreparable damage," reports the president of the Health Commission, Christian Mulas, " the accident highlighted the structural limitations of traffic in the area ."

The episode is not isolated, despite the speed limit of 30 km/h. «The continuous safety and traffic problems are a clear sign that the current project of the “Busquets promenade” no longer responds to the needs of a city in continuous evolution. It is time to seriously reconsider the design of this area , to guarantee a promenade that is safe, functional and truly at the service of the community», continues Mulas who proposes to review the project of the rambla «with an innovative approach, open to dialogue and citizen participation».
