Temporary Reserved Lane
In roads with more than one lane in each direction, as in Camino de Ronda, Joaquina Eguaras, Arabial (towards Chana), Francisco Ayala Avenue or paseo Emperador Carlos V, will be implemented TRL to ease mobility of PMV, bikes, taxis and urban buses.
Down below we detail its implementation with signaling:
At the beginning , we will find a vertical sign that indicates speed limit to 30km/h on the right lane, and temporary reservation of this lane for personal mobility vehicles, bicycles, taxis and urban buses.
Private vehicles must circulate on the left lane.
The TRL will be signalled with a solid yellow line on the left side of the original road signalling (except on crossings, where it will be discontinous line).
Also, when right lane, the TRL lane, have parking spaces on the right, there will be marked with a broken line one meter width to indicate bicycles or PMV´s the way to circulate for their own security, to become visible and avoid the cars parked when opening their doors.
In roads that do not have two or more senses of circulation and are included in this network for bicycles and personal mobility vehicles, will be implemented cyclostreets, to ease coexistence of all vehicles in the road and speed limited to 30km/h.
This measure could be find in Carretera de la Sierra.
Measures included in the decree will be implemented on Monday 18 May 2020 for two weeks.
