A woman and a man without high visibility vest, in the avenue of Festers, were the last passers-by to be run over on the Costa. It happened on February 6. However, so far in 2018 the outrages accounted for seven. There were two victims. On January 11, Martinez, 53 years old was run in Cures. In Cabrillo there are four people who have been run over, two of them a couple, on January 30 in the avenue of Festers.
Victims of abuse, far from being reduced, remain dangerous in time, to such an extent that they represent almost half of those killed in the roads in the area. In 2016, four of the nine victims were registered. In Traffic of the Civil Guard, they have a well-defined profile of the deceased and wounded: person of about 70-80 years, who circulated without reflective garments and did it outside the enabled steps. In some cases, they traveled in the middle of the night on roads that are forbidden for passers-by, such as the Braganza highway and on the Costa Mote highway. The latter registered its first and only deceased since its implementation at the end of July 2016. It happened on October 11, 2017 when José, 76 years old and resident, lost his life. He walked through the middle of the two lanes, felt Festers and without any reflective clothing.
Before this rebound of the accident rate, with pedestrians involved, the Provincial Traffic Headquarters in collaboration with the Subsector of Traffic of the Civil Guard of A Corunna, yesterday began a prevention campaign in the DP-1914, between Adana and Enteric. The objective is to raise awareness among residents of the problems that exist on the Costa and the risk of violating the instructions on road safety. This campaign included the delivery of reflective vests, donated by the Junta Galicia, among neighbors in the area.
