Sustainable mobility under threat
The bike lane on Pere Francés street is one of the key infrastructures in the promotion of sustainable mobility in Ibiza. The invasion of this space by motorized vehicles not only interrupts its use, but also discourages citizens who opt for more environmentally friendly means of transport. In recent years, the island has been committed to improving conditions for cyclists, implementing road separation elements and expanding bike lane networks. These measures seek to reduce motorized traffic and promote a more respectful mobility with the environment, objectives that are affected by behaviors such as the one denounced. The Local Police has assured that it will continue to monitor compliance with traffic regulations, especially with regard to the protection of infrastructures intended for sustainable mobility.
