Barcelona's blocks charge their first victim
It ran the month of July when the safety of drivers in Barcelona was questioned from Anesdor after the decision to install huge concrete blocks to further reduce the space for the road.Not to mention yellow paint with which these areas are indicated and that can lead to landslides.
Since then there have been few who have tried to end these solid elements that were even taken to trial.But the Prosecutor's Office declared them totally legal for not finding indications that they were dangerous for road safety, after requesting reports to the different authorities.
Unfortunately, a few days ago we had to regret the death of Martí Estela, goalkeeper of the first Waterpolo Swimming Club Barcelona, who fatally hit one of these concrete blocks.
The witnesses say that the 28 -year -old circulated at a low speed with an electric motorcycle along Balmes Street when a car changed the lane suddenly, diverting the direction of the mount when touching it and causing the collision with one of these blocks, whatwhich caused Martí's death on the spot.
Now there are several groups that ask that the investigation of these artificial barriers that are used to expand the pedestrian use zone and as a terrace for bars and restaurants be reopened.
