· These displacements could be increased by the return phase of Operation Strait Pass, which mainly affects the circulation on the A-7 and AP-7
· Special traffic management measures will be established in Alicante, Castellón and Valencia
· Pilar Bernabé calls for prudence and stresses the need to respect traffic rules
· In what we have been operating summer, 20 people have died on the roads of the C.Valenciana
The special operation Return of the summer 2023 takes place in the Valencian Community from 15:00 hours on Thursday, August 31, until 24:00 hours on Sunday, September 3. Therefore, special traffic regulation and management measures will be established these days that will affect Alicante, Castellón and Valencia.
The delegate of the Government in the Valencian Community, Pilar Bernabé, has pointed out that in this special operation a total of 6.8 million long-distance journeys are expected, of which 21% -1.432.200- correspond to the territorial scope of the Valencian Community.
In addition to these return movements due to the end of the holidays, there will be a significant influx of vehicles that will continue to be produced on the main axes and border crossings through the return phase of Operation Strait Pass. The latest phase of the OPE (July 15 to September 15) further increases the number of long-distance movements in the Mediterranean Corridor (A-7 and AP-7).
Pilar Bernabé has called for the prudence of all drivers. According to the delegate, “it is necessary to respect the established speed, maintain safety distances, turn off the mobile and wear the safety belt or child restraint system well in the case of minors”. He has also considered it “fundamental” to rest every two hours in the case of long journeys.
During our summer operation, 20 people have died on the roads of the Valencian Community (11 in the province of Alicante, 9 in the province of Valencia and none in the province of Castellón), which represents an increase of 67% in relation to the same period last year.
