    Hypothetical event: a motorcycle traveling on Avenida Miguel Hernández does not respect a traffic light and a car with an open traffic light runs over it...the end
    Should we close circulation on the Avenue?

    We could see it coming, we already warned the City Council months ago to force the tram drivers to sound the horn before arriving at the station, it almost took me and my friend and they didn't knock, it's a lie, they don't sound and they pass by at all times anyway. speed, there will be more accidents because they will not set strict rules

    I am a resident of the area, and since the center was pedestrianized, this area is overcrowded, to get to Diana Park with my dogs, I have to first cross three car lanes, two more then a train track, two other car lanes and a bike lane, which also brings them…
    Of course, they require you to pay attention from left and right because waves of vehicles are coming, not to mention the lack of parking, and if you get hit it is your fault, whether walking or with your vehicle because you don't have eyes in all directions... . I am clear that one day it will be my turn, because we are governed by useless people!!!!!!

    The only remedy for accidents is to remove the tram and return to the bus.
    What Denia really needs is a new bus station.
    And a bus to Gandía.
    And more work and a better connection with the people,
    The trains don't work here.

    Even though it is signposted and has traffic lights, the Tram goes too fast on Joan Fuster. From the institute stop to the station it should not exceed 10 km/h.
    If there are a few meters left to get there and as you can see, there is a danger due to lack of perception.
    Or barriers or the Tram reducing the speed to 10 from the Mas y Más stop until passing the roundabouts.

      There is a stop in the middle of the two points you are talking about, therefore, the speed is not that great because it stops right there before passing through that intersection.

      It was to be expected, nowadays only idiots and useless people think of putting a tram in the middle of the city instead of taking it to the outskirts, and also three hours to go to Alicante, Banana Republic...

  8. Andrés says:

    You cannot make a train pass through the middle of the city without protective fences and without barrier-free vehicle crossings.
    A real botch has been made in terms of security.
    There have been and there will be accidents.

    • Omniway says:

      Andrés, I don't agree with that. In many cities it is like this, and much worse in cities where there are trams, and nothing happens. In Dénia it must be due to the lack of habit and poor perception of traffic lights. But given how clumsy we are here, let them put up barriers before there are deaths.

    • Jose says:

      True, in addition, this train route collapses circulation by dividing the town into two parts and you can only go from one part to the other through the port, Diana Street or through Paris Square. The station would have to be on the stop, from Paris Square there would be less traffic jams and danger.
