The General Directorate of Traffic (DGT) will maintain a special traffic surveillance and management device between this Friday and next Sunday on the occasion of the Motul Grand Prix of the Valencian Community, which is held at the Ricardo Tormo Circuit in Cheste and will bring together many spectators who will come with their private vehicles to watch the motorcycle races.
In order to cover the increase in planned trips, in addition to guaranteeing fluidity and road safety, the DGT has designed an operation that will also take into account the special characteristics of this type of road users.
Thus, it will carry out specific surveillance on aspects such as risky and dangerous behavior, movement in groups of motorcyclists, speed controls, alcohol and other drug controls, passing vehicles without maintaining the mandatory separation and overtaking with two or more motorcycles in parallel.
The operation is also aimed at facilitating the circulation of vehicles, with indication of the most recommended routes for a smoother and safer trip. The experience of other editions reflects that the highest level of traffic will be developed on the A-3 towards Valencia, the AP-7 from the border of Tarragona to the Valencian capital and the A-7 and AP-7 from Valencia to Alcira. .
For reasons of road safety, mobility and fluidity of circulation, as well as the intrinsic danger of the load of certain vehicles, Traffic will also establish restrictions on the circulation of goods vehicles of more than 7,500 kilos of maximum authorized mass on certain days, hours and roads of the Valencian Community and its area of influence.
The device has all the human resources available, both from the Traffic Group (reinforced by personnel from the Civil Guard Command) and from the Levante Traffic Management Center, which will regulate and monitor circulation in the area of influence of the circuit, the A-3, the A-7 and the secondary access roads to the site.
In addition, the device will have three helicopters equipped with Pegasus radar, which will carry out regulation and surveillance tasks on the roads leading to the circuit, as well as two support drones. For everything to develop normally, the DGT considers it essential to respect both the traffic rules and the instructions of the Traffic agents and those of the personnel in charge of organizing the parking lots.
