The new road built in the municipality of Murcia are contributing substantially to traffic congestion in the town of Murcia, as shown by the data recorded by the Traffic Service of the City of Murcia.

May the road communication network is improving the accessibility and at the same time, reducing the number of vehicles crossing the town is a fact too obvious.

As an example, in May 2008, date on which construction began in the underground car park in Liberty Avenue, the number of vehicles that ran on the Gran Via Sculptor Salzillo was 21,719 vehicles a day, a figure that has become today, in November 2009, from 17,760 vehicles a day.

The most striking feature shown in Constitution Avenue in July 2008, recorded a flow of 17,426 vehicles a day, while today (measurement in November 2009) the flow has dropped to 7,265 vehicles.

Primo de Rivera Avenue has gone from 19,317 vehicles per day in May 2008, to 17,867 vehicles in November 2009, Ronda de Levante (from 21,354 vehicles in the measurements made in July 2008 to 18,126 in November 2009) , Juan Carlos I has grown from 20,351 in July 2008, to 18,216 vehicles in November 2009 and Plaza Castilla has gone from 16,451 to 14,431 vehicles.

The new road Miguel Indurain, Avenida Aranjuez and the Kingdom of Murcia are the daily influx of about 30,000 vehicles.

These data demonstrate not only the reduction in traffic in the center of the city of Murcia, but also the drivers are making a change of habits in the use of new roads, giving them more possibilities of movement.

Importantly, the construction of these new channels was essential to ensure the continuity of the modernization process of the municipality of Murcia experienced in recent years.

The Security council and Circulation, Nuria Fuentes, stressed that these new roads, with rail construction, refurbishment of public transport and encouraging alternative transportation, especially bicycle Murcia is making the city more accessible with greater opportunities to travel, with a great fluidity in traffic and more sustainable.
