Cancelada A-7 traffic: Mayor backs residents’ bid for two-way access
Residents campaigning to ease traffic chaos in Cancelada have managed to get a meeting with the very busy mayor of […]
Residents of Cancelada are protesting against traffic congestion on the A-7 access road, which forces drivers to make a lengthy detour. Brigitte Verhoye, the campaigner behind the petition, met with Estepona Mayor José María García Urbano on Monday to discuss the issue. Mayor Urbano acknowledged the council's support for the proposed changes, but highlighted legal and administrative barriers that prevent immediate implementation.
These barriers include the road's connection to the state motorway infrastructure, which requires approval from the Ministry of Transport, and the ownership of adjoining land, which has yet to be resolved. The petition calls for a 500-metre stretch of the road between Avenida Flor de Loto and the Veritas/Supeco area to become two-way, with an old access point also being proposed for closure.
While residents have secured support from the town hall, they are awaiting further progress on the outstanding issues before expecting any changes to the road layout.
