This Friday, a new traffic management system will be put into operation in the Batán area, with the aim of improving pedestrian safety and flow. Taking advantage of the traffic lights already installed, now equipped with cameras, this innovative system will be able to adapt the traffic flow according to the number of pedestrians who cross the area. This implementation responds to the repeated requests from the area's schools and residents, who have expressed concerns about safety on the streets due to heavy pedestrian and vehicular traffic, especially during school drop-off and pick-up times.
The project arises as a response to the growing demands of local communities that seek a safer environment for pedestrians, especially for children and their families who travel daily along these streets. With this measure, not only is an improvement in safety expected, but also a more orderly and less congested traffic flow, thereby benefiting the entire Batán community. Moreover, the use of advanced technology to manage traffic is presented as a model that could be replicated in other areas of Madrid in the future, contributing to a more modern city adapted to the needs of its citizens.
