The Government of Navarra will set up truck tolls on the N-121-A
- 33 people have lost their lives in ten years on the road between Irun and Pamplona/Iruña. In addition, some 300 people have been injured in the accidents that have occurred on the site. Following protests by several neighbours of Cinco Villas, the Government of Navarra has decided to set up a toll system.
An average of 10,276 vehicles per day, of which 2,880 are heavy vehicles. There are already three deaths this year on the road BI-3749, in Lemoa, due to unknown causes. Many voices have been raised against the road, demanding measures. On 28 February, a protest was held that cut off the road under the motto “Security, our priority”. In addition, several mayors of the Five Villas have published a letter calling for responsibility in the case of Vitoria-Gasteiz.
In view of this situation, the Government of Navarre has decided to set up truck tolls, as the need to pay will reduce the number of lorries. They have also reported that radars will be installed in areas where more accidents occur, 1 and 6.ean. It has also proposed that, in the medium term, freight transport should be carried out by rail, following the European Union’s sustainable and intermodal transport policies.
