● The training supports the requests of the neighbors and criticizes that the only policy of the Government team is to establish prohibitions of dubious legality
● "We want an ordinance to be passed that regulates the proper use of these means of transportation," says Orange spokesman Francisco Martnez
The rise of the use of alternative means of transport, from bicycles to electric monocycles, passing skates, electric scooters or segways in the municipality has motivated that Citizens propose as much the elaboration of an ordinance regulating its use as the implementation in The Paseo de Parra of a bike lane that can service these new means of locomotion.
"All these new devices, except for bicycles, are not considered vehicles and should not circulate on the road.
This leads to a lot of confusion among users since some of them, equipped with electric motors, are capable of reaching speeds well above human pace, "says local coordinator Francisco Martnez.
"Many neighbors have moved their doubts and problems about it, especially after the government team banned the use of skateboards and skateboards on rides: Can a young child ride a bike ride along with his father?
Can skaters move to the human path for walks?
If the General Circulation Regulation allows, we wonder why the City Council forbids it, and also without giving alternatives, "explains Martinez.
On the other hand, Antonio Barba, responsible for Municipal Policy, explains that "the Citizens' electoral program envisages in this regard both the creation of a bike path on Paseo de Parra and the activation of a program to encourage the use of bicycles and Other alternative means of transport ".
According to Parra, "you can not place a prohibition signal like the ones we see in the accesses to Paseo de Parra without having legal coverage.
The current Circulation Regulation prohibits the circulation of bicycles on sidewalks and sidewalks.
However, it does allow circulation with skates, skateboards and the like to human passage.
The signal placed by the City Council is therefore confusing and very dubious application to ban something that is not.
It should be much clearer and supported by an ordinance that regulates the circulation of these devices and means of locomotion by the sidewalks and walks. "
In this regard, Francisco Martinez points out that municipalities such as Zaragoza or Seville have ordinances that regulate the use of sidewalks, walks and recreational spaces, delimiting the obligations of users of skates, unicycles and electric scooters: "A town hall such as Of Eagles, who wants to be a tourist reference, should provide for the use of bicycles, segways, electric scooters and the like.
The use of these alternative means of transport is on the rise and we therefore demand that the City Council draw up an ordinance to regulate the proper use of these means of locomotion and, at the same time, study the feasibility to create lanes that can be used by Bicycles, skaters, electric scooters and other similar options.
