The Partido Popular Mayors of Marbella and Mijas have asked for explanations from the Ministry for Development, after the speed limit on the coastal A7 road was reduced last Friday from 120km/h to 80 km/h. The Mayors claim it is a measure which has not been announced previously, and they reject the idea in letters sent to the Ministry.
As well as from the Mayors, there have been protests from representatives of the tourist sector, the Mancomunidad, and residents’ associations. Juan Sánchez from the Mancomunidad described the measure as ‘barbaric’ and said that it was another way to collect a toll, but this time via fines.
The provincial traffic chief, Trinidad Hernández, has confirmed that the decision was taken based ‘on reports on traffic accidents carried out by technicians from the Ministry for Development’.
