Congratulations to Axencia Galega de Infraestruturas for their 'Alternative Mobility Strategy' initiative. Many routes connecting interurban areas with schools, health centres, and public facilities are designed primarily for motorised vehicles, making them unsafe for pedestrians and cyclists.
To address this issue, Axencia Galega de Infraestruturas has prioritised the development of dedicated pedestrian and cycle paths along these routes. These paths allow vulnerable road users to travel independently without sharing the road with motorised traffic. Since 2014, the agency has invested over 143.4 million euros in developing 280.2 km of pedestrian and cycle paths.
Impressively, no accidents involving vulnerable road users have occurred on these newly developed paths, and the number of pedestrians and cyclists using these routes has increased significantly.
