🚧 The old Benissa road becomes one-way
👉 The Town Council has approved converting the old Benissa road into a one-way street to improve road safety and ease traffic flow.
🚗 This road, which connects the Ràfol area with Empedrola II, has width and visibility limitations that made it difficult for vehicles to pass each other in both directions.
📈 In addition, increased traffic in recent years and recorded incidents have made it necessary to regulate circulation.
➡️ The new direction will be Benissa – Calp, with access from Empedrola II.
🪧 In the coming days, new signage will be installed and residents will be informed of the changes.
