Road safety in the return to normality

The General Directorate of Traffic (DGT) presents in its interactive magazine Traffic and Road Safety an interesting article titled Safe vehicles in the face of the pandemic with safety recommendations in the use of shared mobility vehicles so present today in our cities.

Shared mobility services were suspended on March 14 with the state of alarm and now little by little they are reopening and recovering normality. However, the current situation requires maintaining, or even increasing, safety and hygiene measures.

It is essential to take extreme prevention measures and these are especially important when renting bicycles, scooters, motorcycles and cars. 

Regarding cars, the DGT indicates that the key points to take into account for disinfection for both the driver and passengers are:

• Steering wheel and controls.
• Dashboard.
• Armrest.
• Seat belts.
• Gear lever and handbrake.
• Ventilation.
• Door handles.

For its part, the Ministry of Health has presented the infographic titled Mobility and road safety in times of Covid. The reduction in private motorized traffic during this time has allowed us to have cleaner air, less noise and more fluid circulation and this document offers advice for moving in an active and healthy way, both in the use of public transport and private vehicles.
