  • Mobility: Traffic wants to ban scooters and circular bikes and park on sidewalks

"We made the mistake of selling a product that we did not have on the shelf, we have nowhere to plug it in and the price is very expensive. We are all wrong . " This is how blunt Pere Navarro, general director of the DGT, has been shown in relation to the electric car. He has also argued that we must resolve "the issue of precariousness" of this type of mobility.

He made these statements during his speech at an informative breakfast organized by the Executive Forum at the Palace Hotel in Madrid . In this sense he added that without charging infrastructure there is no electric car "and that it is a" priority "of the Government to create the" adequate "infrastructure." Where we would need, in the city, parking is difficult to plug in. But he who lives outside the city has facilities to plug it in, "he criticized.

"What comes are the displacements on foot due to the aging of the population"

Pere Navarro (General Director of the DGT)

In addition, the director general of Traffic has predicted that "what is coming are the displacements on foot due to the aging of the population" since, in his opinion, "the elderly people walk" so the tendency will be "to leave the sidewalk clean of obstacles to be able to walk. "

On the connected car, he has celebrated that it is a "leap forward" from the point of view of road safety "that some vehicles are talked to each other" and has recognized that, "without a doubt," all new technologies "are going well for surveillance and control. "

Pere Navarro has justified the "hard" traffic advertising campaigns with explicit messages because, in his opinion, "they are usually more effective". "It seemed that we had fallen asleep in society and that was why we needed to enter with a tough campaign. The reality is much harder than the campaign, " he said.
