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. For full story
