[00:00:02] they plan to observe the
[00:00:19] AP-7, from Cambrils to the Ebro lands,
[00:00:46] Greetings again, good morning, 10:00 AM, 30 seconds, we go
[00:00:50] live to the Catalan Traffic Service, its director, Ramon
[00:00:54] Lamiel, is about to appear to report on the traffic plan due to
[00:00:57] tomorrow's eclipse, a traffic plan.
[00:01:01] the AP-7. This area of Yes,
[00:01:04] Tarragona, but especially this area of this highway AP-7, we are already listening live
[00:01:06] to the words of the director
[00:01:09] four moments when you can exit the of the Catalan Traffic Service, we will know first-hand the plan
[00:01:12] eh foreseen for tomorrow.
[00:01:14] Yes, one, two, three, come on, very good, good morning everyone,
[00:01:19] okay? The four valves of thanks for being here. Eh, we will discuss the
[00:01:22] Mar, L'Ampolla, at the height of plan we have prepared for tomorrow, the day of the eclipse. Some
[00:01:26] general tips for starters, general eh tips. The
[00:01:29] first general tip is to prepare, to plan, to inform yourselves about the state of
[00:01:33] traffic, this is basic. Do
[00:01:36] not stop on the roads, do not park on the roads, and therefore,
[00:01:39] especially at the time the eclipse approaches, do not stop, do not park on the
[00:01:43] roads. We will take special eh care and
[00:01:45] attention to ensure that people do not park on the AP-7 or the National
[00:01:49] 340, which are important roads for
[00:01:51] us. Eh, the other
[00:01:55] advice is to leave with enough time, mm, therefore tomorrow a
[00:01:59] significant traffic intensity is expected, so leave with enough time
[00:02:02] and I think I'm forgetting some advice, but in any case the
[00:02:06] commissioner will also
[00:02:07] remind you.
[00:02:13] Important roads
[00:02:36] we recommend being very cautious
[00:02:38] area rather than long-distance on the AP-7 highway, okay? The AP-7 highway, especially the
[00:02:42] two-lane area of
[00:02:43] that vehicles do not stop on the verges or the Ebro, may suffer, eh, because it only has a capacity for two
[00:02:47] lanes. Therefore, we provide a series of alternative routes
[00:02:51] to go see the eclipse. The eclipse will be seen in Ponent, the Camp de Tarragona
[00:03:21] Ponent from Girona, what we recommend is the C25, which is the
[00:03:25] transversal. If you go down a little further to Martorell,
[00:03:29] the A2. Also to go to Ponent, therefore it is a place to go to
[00:03:32] see the eclipse, Ponent also.
[00:03:36] that area of the Ebro If you want to go to Tarragona, obviously continue on the AP-7. If you want to go to
[00:03:39] the Ebro, continue on the AP-7. But to go to Ponent, the C25 and the
[00:03:42] A2. When you reach the height of Sant Oliva, there at the height of Santa
[00:03:46] Oliva where you take the AP-2, there we will indicate that to
[00:03:50] go to Ponent, the law of Les Borges Blanques, Valls and
[00:03:54] ehm 10 hours from what would be Prades, although Prades is not official and people will
[00:03:57] go, we recommend the AP-2 as a... to reach
[00:04:01] these, these places. When you arrive at
[00:04:04] Tarragona, when you reach the height of Camp de Tarragona,
[00:04:09] of the Ebro lands and Camp de to move around Camp de Tarragona and towards the Ebro Lands, what we recommend is the
[00:04:12] A7, mm, the A7, especially what is Camp de
[00:04:16] Tarragona, Tarragonès and also Baix Camp.
[00:04:19] But we recommend the A7, not the AP-7. The AP-7 might already be a bit more
[00:04:23] loaded. When you continue going down, the
[00:04:27] A7 can be taken at the height of Torredembarra and the... height of Altafulla. Therefore,
[00:04:30] the A7 is also an alternative. When you reach the height of Tarragona, eh,
[00:04:34] when you find the T11, which is the one that distributes towards Reus,
[00:04:38] to go to Reus, Baix Camp, here comes the first tip. To go towards
[00:04:42] Móra d'Ebre or to go towards Terra Alta Gandesa, it is important to take the
[00:04:46] T11, the National
[00:04:48] and Manizales, in the middle of 420. It is better than the ones I just gave for not continuing on the AP-7. We must preserve
[00:04:51] the AP-7 for those going to the Ebro, preserve capacity for those going to
[00:04:54] the Ebro. In any case, Cambrils can also be reached
[00:04:58] with the AP-7, but it is for... triple the A7, as I told you, this alternative of
[00:05:02] the A7 is important. And when you reach the Ebro,
[00:05:06] eh, ehm, the
[00:05:09] Cambrils Anavall, it doesn't matter, from Hospitalet de AP-7 is reserved for all the influx
[00:05:11] to... the Ebro Delta. There are very magnetic points,
[00:05:15] very magnetic, such as the Ebro Delta, the Camp de Tarragona, the eclipse is seen very well,
[00:05:19] but the Ebro Delta also, eh, the eclipse is seen very well.
[00:05:23] Therefore, these are very magnetic points where I will
[00:05:26] now explain some special devices. This
[00:05:32] we also want to intervene in an important way
[00:05:35] to preserve its capacity. When I previously gave
[00:05:39] a general advice, which is not to park on the road here.
[00:05:42] We, on this AP-7, in the areas where the eclipse can be seen,
[00:05:45] will be very insistent, making rounds
[00:05:49] both our colleagues from the Mossos d'Esquadra and our vehicles
[00:05:52] so that people do not stop on the AP-7, do not stop
[00:05:55] on the AP-7, also on the National 340, but especially on the AP-7.
[00:05:59] Eh, we have identified the eclipse zones on this highway where
[00:06:03] the eclipse can be seen, so we will be very insistent
[00:06:06] eh to reserve ehm all the capacity for this
[00:06:10] highway on
[00:06:13] the Ebro, especially, also Camp de
[00:06:16] the Ebro, there are four valves, there are, there are
[00:06:22] highway and go towards
[00:06:24] the National 340, which is the one that will distribute all the traffic in
[00:06:27] what would be the Ebro Delta area,
[00:06:31] the AP-7 are in L'Ametlla de
[00:06:35] L'Aldea and at the height of Amposta. Here we will have a
[00:06:38] helicopter flight, we will have, eh, a
[00:06:40] helicopter team to monitor these valves and see
[00:06:44] if they need to be closed or opened. If an
[00:06:48] exit needs to be closed because it is getting congested and more
[00:06:51] traffic needs to be directed to other exits or vice versa, if there are exits from the south that
[00:06:55] are getting congested, ehm, we strongly recommend
[00:06:58] closing them and strongly recommend that people enter through the northernmost
[00:07:02] ones. That is, we will play with these four valves
[00:07:06] with the helicopter that will provide us with information
[00:07:09] with traffic measurement teams from the Catalan traffic
[00:07:13] service and with the traffic police colleagues who will be very present. The
[00:07:17] commissioner can describe these points more precisely,
[00:07:20] where there will be traffic regulation and therefore measures, but in general with
[00:07:24] dynamic and fixed patrols in those points that may have more
[00:07:27] conflict. Let's go for a moment to what
[00:07:30] is the Ebro Delta area, which is one of the areas
[00:07:34] that we pay more attention to because, eh,
[00:07:38] it can be the area, it is attractive, it is an area that at these
[00:07:41] moments has an... idyllic landscape and therefore the eclipse
[00:07:45] can be seen well. It may be the one that ends up
[00:07:48] assuming more population to see the eclipse. This area,
[00:07:52] we have prepared what is the North Ebro Delta, the
[00:07:56] northern part of the delta, a capillary strategy. If you
[00:07:59] arrive at Deltebre these points eh through certain
[00:08:02] roads that we will be signaling and
[00:08:06] we will be guiding from the national 340, if you have a bit of the
[00:08:11] Eh, there we will be guiding in a
[00:08:15] capillary way towards these
[00:08:18] Delta. That the North Ebro Delta will be the
[00:08:22] beaches of Riu Mar, the La Marquesa beach,
[00:08:25] Villabombita, etcetera, Camarles,
[00:08:28] L'Ampolla, all this we will be signaling with
[00:08:31] roads, eh, sorry, we will be signaling roads with our
[00:08:35] panels and with the presence of Mossos d'Esquadra eh, traffic
[00:08:38] police, colleagues from the Mossos d'Esquadra traffic police who will also be at...
[00:08:42] key points to divert traffic or to regulate traffic eh if
[00:08:46] necessary. If we go to the South Ebro Delta, what is the
[00:08:50] South Ebro Delta, which would be La Ràpita, eh, Sant Jaume
[00:08:53] d'Enveja, La Ràpita and eh
[00:08:56] Amposta, here Amposta has the Eucaliptos beach
[00:08:59] which is expected to have a lot of
[00:09:02] people to see the eclipse. Here there is a strategy, just as the north was
[00:09:06] capillary, these roads playing around, distributing traffic, the south
[00:09:10] is a circular strategy.
[00:09:13] Amposta and La Ràpita have agreed, so from La Ràpita
[00:09:17] there will only be one direction to go to the Trabucador, you will return by
[00:09:21] the road that goes to Amposta from above, and from
[00:09:24] Amposta you can go to Les Eucaliptus and return by the upper road. This means the road that is closer to
[00:09:28] the Ebro, eh, in Sant Jaume
[00:09:31] d'Enveja. Ehm, therefore, in the north,
[00:09:35] capillary, the North Ebro Delta, and in the south, circular, eh, which is
[00:09:39] a strategy to ehm, provide local mobility.
[00:09:44] To highlight that there is a weak point, which is Amposta,
[00:09:47] especially at the exit. And now we are talking about the exit. For the journey there, it's
[00:09:50] about planning, it's about scheduling, not parking
[00:09:54] on the verges, eh, keeping informed, etcetera,
[00:09:58] etcetera. Eh, for the exit, it's about enjoying
[00:10:01] perhaps these activities that have been prepared and that the exit is as
[00:10:05] staggered as possible. Therefore, it is also recommended, if
[00:10:08] possible, to postpone the exit and therefore to stagger it. Better,
[00:10:12] but now, for example, if we go to the delta and then we return north,
[00:10:16] in the Ebro delta there is a fragile point which is Amposta.
[00:10:20] Here we will have traffic regulation both from the Mossos d'Esquadra and ourselves in
[00:10:23] terms of resources, to try to ensure that all the people coming from the North
[00:10:27] Ebro Delta, from the northern part of the Delta, as well as from the southern part of the Delta, can take
[00:10:31] either the National 340 or the AP-7 highway there in
[00:10:35] Amposta and avoid, above all, and I want this to be clear,
[00:10:38] avoid them entering Amposta and congesting Amposta because the navigators
[00:10:42] are evil and will give options that we do not want these
[00:10:45] navigators to give. Therefore, we will be present and we will avoid
[00:10:49] unnecessary congestion. Amposta is true that the eclipse can also be seen in the
[00:10:52] Oriola industrial estate, but. We point out the Eucaliptus where
[00:10:56] there is even a capacity for 10,000 people in the Eucaliptus, okay?
[00:11:00] Ehm,
[00:11:03] further south there is Alcanar, there is Ulldecona, there is Santa Bàrbara, these are
[00:11:06] points where the eclipse can also be seen. Eh, these points are very
[00:11:09] programmed and I want to highlight and now I will return for a moment
[00:11:13] to the north because in the north there is also Montbrió del Camp, there is Cambrils
[00:11:17] and there is Constantí, which we have all visited, there is Torredembarra and
[00:11:20] Altafulla. I want to highlight all the work that the local entities, the
[00:11:24] city councils, have done. The local police forces
[00:11:27] to have a good strategy. This is very
[00:11:30] important for parking, for parking to be able to enter well and
[00:11:34] to be able to leave well. Here there is a parking strategy
[00:11:37] for displacement to the observation point which is very important.
[00:11:41] Here we have helped them, here we will also have
[00:11:44] eh, we will be very attentive to this parking if
[00:11:48] it becomes difficult, if there is a problem because there are many people who
[00:11:52] go at once, eh, because the... great enemy of
[00:11:55] traffic is basically ehm that intensity at a
[00:11:59] certain time that causes congestion at that time. No, here we
[00:12:03] also plan sometimes to cut off entrances if it is convenient
[00:12:07] to try to ehm prevent high-capacity roads from getting congested.
[00:12:11] I'll give some examples: Cambrils, if you don't enter the
[00:12:15] Cambrils observation area well, you can have a problem on the A7. We just
[00:12:18] gave the A7 as an alternative, if you don't enter well, we can have a problem on
[00:12:21] the A7. La Ametlla de Mar, if. We have many
[00:12:25] problems entering at a certain moment and at a certain
[00:12:28] peak, we can have a problem on the AP-7 highway
[00:12:31] because the eclipse observation area is close to the AP-7 highway.
[00:12:35] Therefore, here we will be very attentive and we will have means to cut off if
[00:12:39] necessary and prevent congestion on the AP-7
[00:12:43] highway. Ehm,
[00:12:46] I, eh, I think I have given the main, ehm,
[00:12:50] the main information that needed to be given, eh, these
[00:12:54] more general. One thing I also left out in the general information
[00:12:57] and that we are stressing is to have the car prepared
[00:13:01] because we are having many breakdowns and therefore breakdowns eventually cause congestion.
[00:13:05] Have the car prepared, remember to plan, leave
[00:13:09] with time and do not stop on the roads, especially, and
[00:13:12] inform yourselves, check the traffic status. We will have a communication strategy
[00:13:15] tomorrow, every x moments we will be giving
[00:13:19] information on how the
[00:13:21] review these general information on alternative routes. Eh,
[00:13:25] C25, A2 towards Ponent, AP2 for the
[00:13:31] the AP-7, A7 to the south and AP-7 for those from the Ebro,
[00:13:34] to reserve it. And lastly, and I finish, there will be
[00:13:37] truck restrictions. Here you have a slide projected that clearly
[00:13:41] states it: in the southbound direction there will be restrictions from 5 PM to
[00:13:45] 12 AM to also provide more capacity, and in the northbound direction
[00:13:49] there will be a limitation on trucks that what we will do is
[00:13:52] that they can circulate but... they will be able to
[00:13:55] circulate on the right and at 80 km/h. And why is there no
[00:13:59] restriction in the northbound direction? The restriction in the northbound direction should have been
[00:14:02] done by the DGT in the Valencian Country area,
[00:14:05] but this has not been possible because the DGT has not
[00:14:09] wanted to impose restrictions. The Basque Country has done it, Navarra has done it, and we
[00:14:13] have done it. We have imposed the same restrictions from 5 to
[00:14:16] 12, ehm and by not
[00:14:19] imposing these restrictions, trucks will go up. They will be informed that they have to
[00:14:23] go slowly and on the right, but trucks will go up, of course. We cannot
[00:14:26] remove them in Amposta nor can we remove them in L'Hospitalet de l'Infant because
[00:14:30] it is an eclipse zone, we would create a problem even worse. Therefore, we have to
[00:14:34] let them pass, but that they pass in an orderly fashion, calmly
[00:14:38] on the right, mm, this would be the final
[00:14:41] thesis. I finish here, I just want to, eh, I pass the floor to the
[00:14:44] commissioner. I also want to highlight, just as I have highlighted the role of local entities with
[00:14:48] the parking strategy, the strategies of local police for the
[00:14:52] observation points, the internal mobility of... these municipalities, I also want to
[00:14:56] highlight all the Mossos d'Esquadra traffic
[00:14:59] operation that the commissioner will now explain, which is
[00:15:02] an operation that I think is one of the most complete eh that we have done for
[00:15:05] singular events, and therefore we will be very attentive, very
[00:15:09] present on the road so that there is no, above all, any road
[00:15:12] safety problem. There will also be a reinforcement of tow trucks here to remove all
[00:15:16] the accidents that may
[00:16:07] most important.
[00:16:48] d'Esquadra traffic police who is going to complete the
[00:16:52] information on this operation, one of the most comprehensive
[00:16:54] for
[00:16:56] special events, as the director of the Catalan Traffic
[00:17:00] Service, Ramon Lamiel, informed us, very focused on
[00:17:03] avoiding collapses on the AP-7, this highway that...
[00:17:08] eh high capacity that connects with the
[00:17:10] south of the country which is where the eclipse will
[00:17:14] have a greater influx of visitors. Let's listen to the commissioner of the Mossos
[00:17:18] traffic police, an operation that will be composed of 700
[00:17:21] officers, of whom 180 will be traffic
[00:17:24] specialists. This operation will enter tomorrow into maximum alert
[00:17:28] and this eh and it will be
[00:17:31] coordinated from the coordination center that we will establish from the 112 in
[00:17:34] Reus. From traffic. It will serve as
[00:17:38] a special mobility device, coordinated with the Catalan Traffic Service and in which
[00:17:42] local police forces have also participated. This device has the priority
[00:17:46] of establishing, of guaranteeing the safety of people, guaranteeing public order as
[00:17:50] well as mobility. Traffic
[00:17:52] personnel will be distributed on the main
[00:17:55] roads, as well as on the secondary roads and those roundabouts and
[00:17:59] accesses to the municipalities, with a coordinated strategy with the local
[00:18:02] police that will distribute the flows towards the areas that have been established
[00:18:06] for parking. And it is important to follow
[00:18:10] the indications towards these parking areas and then
[00:18:13] to walk to the areas where various
[00:18:17] activities are programmed. It is important
[00:18:21] on the road network because they could obstruct the passage of
[00:18:24] emergency vehicles, whether for medical assistance, a fire or
[00:18:28] any other security incident, and also to follow
[00:18:31] the indications of the agents on the roads and the message
[00:18:35] panels that have been established to indicate
[00:18:39] alternative routes, as well as the recommendations for accessing the various
[00:18:42] municipalities and the areas where observation points have been
[00:18:44] established.
[00:18:47] It is also important that before leaving, people have planned their
[00:18:50] journey, checked the traffic conditions, and also
[00:18:54] have the vehicle refueled and properly
[00:18:57] maintained to be able to make the journey without any breakdowns that could complicate
[00:19:00] mobility. The security agents and traffic
[00:19:04] agents, as I said, will be located along the AP-7,
[00:19:08] the various secondary roads and also the roads that
[00:19:11] lead, as we said, to these observation points,
[00:19:14] coordinated with the local police to give directions
[00:19:17] to guide them to parking areas or to the
[00:19:21] indicated areas where parking is permitted. We insist that
[00:19:24] it is very important not to park on the verges or
[00:19:28] in areas that are not specially designated. Traffic agents
[00:19:31] will also check compliance with the
[00:19:34] restrictions and the, the sorry. Traffic agents will also
[00:19:38] check compliance with the restrictions and limitations for
[00:19:42] heavy vehicles, especially in the area, well,
[00:19:46] Tarragona upwards
[00:19:49] precisely so that heavy vehicles do not obstruct this
[00:19:52] mobility and the fluidity of traffic. This
[00:19:56] special mobility device, as I said, has been specifically coordinated with the Catalan
[00:19:59] Traffic Service, with the participation of the local police and municipalities, in
[00:20:03] order to establish a coordinated strategy that will be adjusted in real
[00:20:07] time from the coordination center, as I told you, which will be at
[00:20:10] 112 in Reus, where all institutions will be present
[00:20:14] to coordinate any incident that may occur and to adapt those
[00:20:17] recommendation messages for the citizens.
[00:20:21] If there is a vehicle that stops, what infraction
[00:20:24] can be attributed to it and what penalty can be attributed, so to speak?
[00:20:28] It depends on the place, the moment and the fact it is causing. I insist that the objective is
[00:20:32] to guarantee that emergency vehicles can pass, well, in
[00:20:35] case precisely for this, to respond to a...
[00:20:37] health assistance and in this case, well, I don't want to say there is no price beyond the fine, what we have to do is responsible
[00:20:41] driving with awareness and that there are parking spaces that are specifically
[00:20:45] enabled and what is wanted is not to obstruct traffic so that
[00:20:49] everyone can get to the place where
[00:20:52] eclipse. Is there a forecast for vehicles, do you have any
[00:20:56] forecast, director?
[00:20:57] Let's see.
[00:21:02] I will explain some of the elements that we currently have on the
[00:21:06] table, ehm, we are observing to see if there is
[00:21:10] a significant
[00:21:12] departure south and that we can detect this significant
[00:21:16] departure. We have a vehicle counter in the Martorell area that we
[00:21:20] usually have and it is the one we are monitoring more directly, this
[00:21:23] vehicle counter. Yesterday there was an increase in the afternoon of
[00:21:27] 2% of vehicles compared to the previous week. It is important
[00:21:31] to compare with the previous week, which was a week that was closer to what this week was also
[00:21:35] in August, no? And therefore the comparison with last week is interesting,
[00:21:39] therefore a 2% increase. This is not very significant and there was some
[00:21:42] congestion in the afternoon which was, eh, a
[00:21:46] midday-afternoon congestion that was very clear.
[00:21:50] On Saturday morning, there was congestion on the A2, AP and AP-7 in
[00:21:53] Martorell, ehm, which
[00:21:57] usually happens on Saturday mornings. Therefore, well, there was a kind
[00:22:01] of symptom of a different
[00:22:04] departure than what we had last week, but not important or relevant at
[00:22:08] these moments. This in terms of detecting departures, today, for example, we are not
[00:22:11] detecting anything particularly significant or relevant, we are not
[00:22:15] detecting it. At the end of the day we will be able to say if this counter we have in
[00:22:19] Martorell has given any more information.
[00:22:23] What we do know is about some of the places that
[00:22:26] have been positioned as observation points, for
[00:22:30] example, this is not from the Camp de
[00:22:33] Tarragona area where there was a forecast of 2,500
[00:22:36] vehicles, eh, sorry, 2,500 people.
[00:22:39] At these moments they are having well a
[00:22:43] a they are already in a population that seems to be
[00:22:47] registered because there they have asked for registrations or... reservations of
[00:22:50] 3,050, so we are a little above and the
[00:22:54] vehicles that were planned 650 vehicles, we are
[00:22:58] above, we are at 700 something. Well,
[00:23:01] this, if it continues like this, could reach a little more, it is still
[00:23:05] one day left and therefore it could reach a little more. The news
[00:23:09] that I think this is also interesting to know is that almost
[00:23:12] 60% of these people and these vehicles are from the
[00:23:15] region, they are not from outside the region. If we
[00:23:19] were to guide ourselves by this and extrapolate
[00:23:22] this to the other points, then we would have a more
[00:23:25] local mobility in the eclipse
[00:23:28] travel. But given that we don't know very
[00:23:32] well what will happen, we are now collecting,
[00:23:36] today we are collecting those city councils that have
[00:23:40] either some type of pre-reservation or that are
[00:23:43] registering calls of interest for the eclipse observation zones that
[00:23:47] can give us this information from...
[00:23:50] The information we have is also going this way, it is
[00:23:53] going a little this way. There is a little more interest than was
[00:23:57] expected without there being a
[00:24:00] flood of interest or possible
[00:24:03] visits, there is also this
[00:24:06] sensation that eh there are
[00:24:08] also a combination of people from outside and people from the area, eh, therefore,
[00:24:12] we are here eh, the, the, the
[00:24:16] what I told you, what we also know is what can transport. This
[00:24:20] highway on an August day, especially the AP-7 and especially
[00:24:26] Delta that is from Cambrils to Navall is what worries us most because there are only two
[00:24:29] lanes, no? There, the
[00:24:32] capacity of a highway like that with two lanes is 3,000
[00:24:36] vehicles per hour, if you have the highway
[00:24:39] operating in perfect conditions
[00:24:44] 7 in the morning until 7 in the evening to go see
[00:24:47] the eclipse the highway. It can
[00:24:50] transport more, meaning more than it usually carries in August, on a day
[00:24:54] like this, it can transport an additional
[00:24:56] eh 20,000 vehicles,
[00:25:00] eh, of those it transports during these 10 hours, it can
[00:25:03] transport an additional 20,000 vehicles compared to what it usually transports.
[00:25:07] August 12, okay? So
[00:25:09] this, uh, is what we should achieve, that these
[00:25:13] 20,000 vehicles are not exceeded, that's why we are asking for it to be brought forward,
[00:25:17] for it to start earlier, for it to be scheduled. That everyone
[00:25:21] uses, well, perhaps some of these alternative routes I have recommended
[00:25:25] better, so as not to put pressure on this highway on P7.
[00:25:28] These are the figures we can give, that we know more or
[00:25:32] less, some of them with precision, like
[00:25:35] the highway. Additional lanes going down or up have
[00:25:38] been ruled out, uh, I understand they've been ruled out because the
[00:25:42] the points where you could open the lane and the point
[00:25:46] where you could, uh, merge the lane into its direction.
[00:25:50] They are not well conditioned, but there is another thing that made us
[00:25:53] rule it out. Those going down, imagine that from
[00:25:59] l'Infant we decide to open a lane to... those going down
[00:26:03] and we give them a lane from the opposite direction, right? Those from the opposite direction
[00:26:07] who have two lanes, we take one from them. Of course,
[00:26:10] we would turn the highway into a conventional road, with the trucks that
[00:26:14] are there, that would already generate congestion, but imagine that we are willing
[00:26:18] to assume it.
[00:26:20] When you go down and you give the lane in the opposite direction to those
[00:26:23] going down, there comes a point where you have to make them re-enter their direction of
[00:26:27] travel. To do this you would have to take a lane from those
[00:26:30] going down, whatever the congestion, that... the ones going down would be superior to the
[00:26:34] benefit of an additional lane, I don't know if I've explained myself, but that's why we've
[00:26:37] ruled it out, because we would cause more harm than
[00:27:07] The press conference that the director of the Catalan Traffic Service, Ramón Lamiel,
[00:27:11] is attending about this special device
[00:27:14] due to tomorrow's eclipse, restrictions, uh,
[00:27:18] 12 at night. A lot of concern about
[00:27:21] this AP7 highway. The traffic director has given different
[00:27:25] alternatives depending on where the
[00:27:29] vehicles are heading. Uh, 700 uh, traffic officers of... Mossos
[00:27:32] will control this
[00:27:35] uh, departure operation, so to speak, to
[00:27:38] see the eclipse. It especially worries the
[00:27:41] final stretch of this AP7, the one that goes from Cambrils to the
[00:27:45] Ebro lands, which, uh, is only two lanes per
[00:27:49] direction. We will immediately expand this and other information.
[00:30:36] 132 dead and 570 injured, is the provisional toll of
[00:30:40] victims of the strong earthquake in Colombia that has rattled a large number
[00:30:44] of buildings.
[00:30:47] The earthquake has affected cities like Pereira
[00:30:51] the so-called coffee axis, an area highly visited by tourists. There is no
[00:30:54] record of any Catalans
[00:30:55] affected. All ready.
