The General Directorate of Traffic (DGT) foresees more than 82,000 trips in Cantabria throughout the Special Operation on May 1, which starts this Friday at 3 p.m. and will last until Monday.
In the region, one of the most conflictive points of traffic will be the area near Torrelavega, at the junction between the A-67 and the A-8. And, on the other hand, the A-8 withholdings are also foreseen in the area between Laredo and the border with the Basque Country.
In Cantabria, for the development of this special operation, the Traffic Sector of the Civil Guard will deploy up to 180 agents.
In addition, in Cantabria there are 10 operating radars, one of them for a stretch (on the N-629, between the towns of Limpias and Ampuero), and it has three mobile control cameras and safety belt, two of them on the A-67 and one on the A-8.
In the country as a whole, the DGT forecasts more than 6.5 million displacements in these days.
The DGT always recommends, before starting the trip, to be informed of the weather forecasts at the State Meteorological Agency, and of course plan the trip by the safest route to avoid unforeseen events.
From the twitter accounts @informacionDGT and @DGTes or the news bulletins on radio and television, as well as on the phone 011, the situation of the traffic is reported in real time and any incidents that may exist.
The whole set up device, as well as alternative tips or itineraries, can be consulted in dgt.es (traffic status/traffic recommendations/special operations).
