The speed of cars on 30th Street in Oviedo is almost unbearable – Nortes

During July and August 2024, Union Banco de Asturias They took part in speed measurements on a 30 km/h street in Oviedo/Ubieu, from 9:30am to 7:30pm on weekdays, with an average of 50 measurements every half an hour, for a total of about 6 hours.

A total of 7 speed measurements were taken on the street: Santa Susana, Archbishop Guisasola, Azcarraga, Alvarez Flores Estrada, Mieres, Victor Chavarri and Carlos Asensio Bretonesa total of 500 vehicles analyzed. Ultimately, 100 vehicles were measured Pumalin Streetstreets at 50 km/h, specifically in order to be able to compare with the data obtained.

The association said these figures clearly reveal the extent of non-compliance with the speed limit on the 30 km/h streets of Oviedo/Ubieu: “Only 6.8% of people respect the speed limit on the 30 km/h streets in front. 93.20% do not comply with the law, and the average speed of vehicles passing through them is 39.62 km/h.”

They ask entities to comply with the regulations and to bear in mind that speed modifications are “primarily based on the safety of users of urban traffic routes”. For example, if the speed of the impact vehicle is 30 km/h, the risk of death is 10%; if the speed is 50 km/h, the risk of death rises to 90%. Similarly, an increase in speed will increase noise and environmental pollution, which will also affect people’s health.
