Ordinance Pedestrian and Bicycle Circulation makes it clear: in the pedestrian areas cyclists must bear a moderate speed below 10 kilometers per hour and respecting, in any case, the priority of pedestrians . But as the coexistence of pedestrians and cyclists in certain areas, especially the City, is not fully achieved, the City Council soon will install speed limit signs bicycles. This is the case of Constitution Avenue and San Fernando Street. The violations, according to the ordinance, shall be punished by a fine of 30 to 70 euros .
In this way, the Town Hall wants to raise awareness that cyclists "can not go at any speed" in some areas where the pedestrian has right of way. According to municipal sources, so proceed in the coming days to the installation of traffic signing in the cycling route that runs along San Fernando Street and Avenue, whose demarcation has been completed with thumbtacks, "Europa Press reported, stressing that pedestrian priority is and that the speed limit for cyclists is 10 miles per hour.
I still have to wait is the design and qualification of a bike lane that crosses the heart of the city from north to south, as they have requested numerous times the cycling associations of Seville.
For now, what's up are the work of fitness, conditioning and improvements in road safety of the network of bike lanes. Some projects funded by the central government's 5000 Plan, which allocated 1.8 million euros the arrangement of black spots, like the step shared between pedestrians and cyclists in San Hermenegildo or Menéndez y Pelayo rotation between and Eduardo Dato, under the Bridge of Fire.
Sources in the delegation of Infrastructure for Sustainability, the rail signaling work in the San Fernando Street and Constitution Avenue affect more than a thousand meters long , with the placement of approximately 1,850 metal devices: tacks that contain the logo of a bicycle and delimiting a bidirectional lane 2.5 meters wide, in the San Fernando streets run along the side opposite the University, while on the Avenue is on the opposite side of the Cathedral , next to the tram.
This intervention has cleared of the Delegation for Mobility and the approval of the Historical Heritage Commission, as it could affect the visual aesthetics of an area of \u200b\u200boutstanding heritage significance, in the vicinity of heritage assets of cultural interest and Heritage, as the File de Indias, the Cathedral and the Alcazar.
With these tacks, the City avoided having to pick up again, paving and ensures that all the way there will always be given the watchmen, sufficient space for pedestrian traffic.
Last March, as it did in November 2010, the Supreme Court returned with another decision to endorse the ordinance pedestrians and cyclists passed by the full City Council in September 2001, which also prohibits the movement of bicycles through the shopping streets of the Centre during business hours. The decision upheld the legality of the items outweighed by TSJA pathways affecting cyclists in pedestrian areas, the definition of pedestrian space, the regulation of the use of bike lanes, the legality of riding a bicycle through the parks and walkways and parking on city streets.
