Paysandú councilors push measures to slow traffic near schools
Two representatives of the National Party submitted proposals in the Departmental Board to strengthen road safety in areas with student traffic. The initiatives aim to add signage and speed-reduction devices.
Two National Party councilors submitted motions in the Paysandú Departmental Board to incorporate road safety measures at crossings linked to educational centers, according to El Telégrafo.
According to that outlet, councilor Aurora Rodríguez asked to study actions at the intersection of Dr. Roldán Avenue and Andresito, a crossing used by children who attend school and by teenagers from High School No. 3. She also noted that it is an industrial area with a high presence of residents and that bus drivers also conveyed their concern. Her proposal includes the installation of a crosswalk and a speed bump.
Meanwhile, Marta Sosa proposed adding stopping devices in front of School No. 93, on Route 90, in the Trébol area. Still according to El Telégrafo, the councilor highlighted the existence of a radar at the site, but proposed completing the measures with the marking of a crosswalk and the construction of a speed bump.
