Minutes of the informative meeting with the Mayor held on 30 June 2025 in the Town Hall
Attendees:
- Miguel Angel García (Mayor)
- María José Ivars (Councillor for public safety)
- José Vicente García (Chief of police)
- Vicente Vidal (Administrator of Panorama 1)
- Pepe Blas (authorised representative of Panorama 2)
- Paul Davies (President of Panorama 3)

Monographic issue discussed at the meeting:
The Carretera superior road in the Pueblo Panorama area of Cumbre del Sol carries a heavy vehicle and lorry traffic and it has been repeatedly reported by local residents that the established speed limits are not being respected. As it is a narrow two-way street in a populated area, the traffic represents a danger for the neighbours themselves. Solutions are expected from the City Council.
Main points of discussion among the attendees:
- It is reported that the Town Council contracted a study to solve problems caused by speeding on the Carretera Superior road and it was proposed by the City Council as a solution to install a fixed section radar on the Carretera superior road with two radar points covering 605 metres to control the traffic on both the Carretera Superior road and Vistamar street and it was envisaged the possibility of installing a third radar point on the ascent to Jazmines street.
- The approximate planned location of the radar points are marked with red arrows as follows:
- The cost of the radar is estimated at around 60.000€ and would be included in the 2026 budget. The work to be carried out requires tendering, electrification works etc.
- The convenience of putting up a visible information sign to the right and left of the entrance to Vistamar Street indicating that it is a private street with public access was also discussed. The chief of police prefers an information panel to a traffic sign because the police is not responsible for the enforcement of the traffic in a private street.
- It was suggested to control trucks traffic by time slots and the chief of police argues the technical difficulty of doing so considering the number of construction works being carried out.
- It was asked whether chicanes on Carrera superior had been considered and the chief of police confirmed that they had been taken into account but this was rejected as the road was not wide enough.
Final conclusions:
There is a general consensus among the communities that the solution proposed by the mayor is a good one.

It would be nice to have also radar control on main Magnolias from the big roundabout, enormous amount of work lorries, mashinery constantly going up and down and privat cars are raceing and ignoring the 30 speed limit. We were told to be living in a Residential Area, it seems we are living on a building site. As Vapf replied: the building has nothing to do with them! Would be nice if somebody looks into it. Thank you.

Buenas, me parece una broma como esta solucionando el Ayuntamiento y su corporación el tema del tráfico, sea por obra, o sea por el famoso colegio que cada día tiene más alumnos y por ello más tráfico, claro que debe repercutir mucho en las arcas municipales; por eso mismo han colocado el radar en el tránsito a la cala, porque su afán recaudatorio es lo que prima. Llevamos tiempo reclamando un radar de tramo en la carretera superior, ya que es imposible subirte a tú propio coche y mucho menos salir a pasear, los coches de los padres no respetan el límite de velocidad y como van tarde pues a toda ....No han hecho caso de cambiar el radar o colocar otro, así que dudo mucho de las conversaciones que se están manteniendo, si valoraran la pasta que sacarían si lo pusieran ahí, a lo mejor lo cambiaban o colocaban. Es una pesadilla el tráfico que hay durante todo el año, pero no lo van a SOLUCIONAR. Gracias.
DeleteYo he tenido la oportunidad de participar en la reunión con el alcalde en representación de la comunidad de propietarios de Panorama II. En la misma se han abordado distintas alternativas tendentes a solucionar el problema del tráfico y en particular de controlar el exceso de velocidad en la Carretera Superior al tiempo que se evite con ello el efecto no deseado de desviar el tráfico de la Carretera Superior a la calle Vistamar. La solución adoptada de instalar en 2026 el radar en los puntos indicados es firme y ha sido considerada satisfactoria por todos los asistentes porque garantiza un control de la velocidad en las dos calles y ante la previsión del desarrollo urbanístico de Jazmines se contempla también la instalación de un tercer punto en el tramo de subida de la carretera superior a Jazmines. Personalmente he sugerido su implementación en este mismo año y el considerar el limitar por franjas horarias el acceso de tráfico pesado. No obstante la petición de instalación del radar de tramo en la Carretera Superior ha sido confirmada por el alcalde y su coste será incluido en el presupuesto de 2026.
DeleteWhich idiot made the Cumbre a one way system?
ReplyDeleteI agree. More carbon emision and more pain for neighbourghs. But yes, more income for town hall with huge payment parking.
DeleteI support the improvement in roads (roundabout,..). But I do not support traffic control using fines. The historic accident level is extremely good. Such fines only look for money nothing else. OVFC should NOT PUT TOGETHER these initiatives. As we can see here are very divisive. BAD for OVFC
ReplyDeleteRadar needed ASAP there are serious accidents just waiting to happen. As we edge out from our parking spot it’s very difficult to see any traffic coming towards because of cars or vans parked at the side, and by the time you can see the moving traffic you have to reverse back very quickly. In addition a child may suddenly go on to the road and speeding cars would not stop in time. A few times when I’m driving at 30 I’ve had impatient drivers overtake me at incredible speed. I say take out the bumps and put in RADAR. That’s my rant for the day.
