Barcelona, birthplace and paradise of motorcycling. Envied for its unique geographical location; settling between that Mediterranean to which Joan Manuel Serrat sang so much and the silhouette of Montjuic. In the outskirts of Barcelona we find many of the most famous roads in the peninsula, starting with a Rabassada that hosted spectacular hill races. She and only she could think of something like enable a lane reserved for motorists.
The measure comes from the number of accidents in which a motorcycle is involved in some of the accesses of the city. To try to solve this situation, it is studying the possibility of reserving one of the lanes for the two-wheeled vehicle at certain points and at specific times. It is not without logic considering the number of people who move on a motorcycle.
It would put an end once and for all to the zigzag between cars, considerably reducing the possibility of having an accident, and, perhaps and only perhaps, would help create smoother traffic. However, I have my doubts about it because we already know how we behave on the road and, unless it was controlled in some efficient way, that lane would end up being invaded by other types of vehicles.
Another possibility that has been considered for a long time is the movement of motorcycles through the shoulders not only when there is some type of retention. A strategy that requires greater care of these areas of the roads that are usually dirty and neglected. Anyway, it is time to take action on the matter, What do the people of Barcelona think of all this?
