Gijón plans to create 100 new parking spaces in Nuevo Roces by year-end

The city council of Gijón has announced plans to create 100 new parking spaces in the Nuevo Roces area by the end of the year. Pelayo Barcia, the councillor for Traffic, Mobility and Public Transport, highlighted that this initiative is designed to improve road safety and promote better coexistence among residents.

Barcia explained, “This measure, similar to the one recently implemented on Les Cigarreres Street in Montevil, will also enhance road safety by moderating vehicle speeds and making it safer for all road users.” He added that the initiative aims to provide “more parking, increased safety, and improved coexistence in our neighbourhoods.”

Furthermore, the councillor noted that this reorganisation will help eliminate incivility, such as double parking, which obstructs traffic and negatively impacts other drivers.
