Eight roundabouts proposed for the Jesus Pobre Road The Diputación de Alicante has revealed plans to drastically change the layout of the Carretera de Jesús Pobre CV-735 between Xàbia and La Xara by installing a network of mini-roundabouts to improve safety along a stretch of road that has become renowned for accidents. A study into a five kilometre section of the road by the ‘Área de Servicios e Infrastructuras, Departmento de Carreteras (Vías y Obras)’ suggested that the majority of accidents had been caused by vehicles turning left across the carriageway or trying to access the main road from side roads with limited visibility. It proposes that a series of mini-roundabouts would eliminate these risks, especially those with limited visibility, and improve road safety.
