The Director of Roads, Jose Guijarro, this morning visited the installation of the new firm slip and stressed that "since its installation two months ago there has been no casualty in the area, thanks in part to the new firm that increases the adhesion between vehicle and the road, more than twice that achieved with a strong regular type. "

The treatment has been made in the approach segment to the roundabout heading, along 100 meters long, ten of which are colored in red to avoid distractions and draw the attention of drivers entering the roundabout from both lanes.

This pioneering initiative in the region, aims at the elimination of accident concentration Segments (TCA) through the improvement of road safety and reduce accidents in high risk areas such as dangerous curves, approximations to roundabouts, steep slopes, pedestrian crossings, traffic lights or intersections.

Guijarro recalled that the Highways Agency has now extended this new asphalt in three installments of the Regional Network, "in the branch of the motorway link del Mar Menor, RM-19, the junction with the highway from Murcia, A -30, at the intersection of RM-620 with RM-D19 in Pulpí and in Yecla Abanilla road, specifically in the Cuesta del Algarrobo, where they have placed and 600 square feet of sign in one of your curves " .

"Strong grasping life"

The CEO explained that this firm, noted for its high ability to grip, helping to reduce slip accidents by 70 percent, according to studies, by reducing braking distances up to 23 meters, even in wet .

Guijarro stressed that "for example, in the case of an ordinary type pavement, the braking distance of a vehicle traveling at 90 kilometers per hour on a wet surface is about 55 meters, while in the case of pavement skid distance is reduced to 32 meters. "

So, soon will begin to place in other parts of the Region, as at the intersection of Bacons Bridge Road, RM-F2, with the road Stables, RM-303, in various corners of the road junction between Calasparra and Cieza, RM-552 and the road linking with Santomera Stables, RM-303.
