The Department of Agriculture and Water will request the Council to consider the establishment of an Agricultural Corridor that enable communication and transport of heavy vehicles between Alhama and Puerto Lumbreras, dedicated to this activity.
Councilman bouquet, Diego Munoz, will present a motion to the full in order to proceed with the improvement, signaling and preferential use by professionals against other users it impossible to travel on some roads and highway Mediterranean.
Totana Township has an extensive network of roads that are used by farmers for access to their farms and livestock, making support a major heavy vehicle traffic in time of harvesting of crops and for transporting animals, which in turn causes damage to the airway firm as a consequence of continued passage thereof.
This situation is common to farmers in the region of Guadalentín from Alhama de Murcia and even Puerto Lumbreras, in which the owners of farms and cooperatives access carriers and warehouses horticultural use these roads and other roads in the network road.
Most professionals use special vehicles (vehicles with trailer) to transport their goods, a circumstance that prevents them from entering the highway, since they can not exceed a speed of 60 kilometers per hour.
These sets of special vehicles can not exceed 25 miles per hour, so you can not access this communication channel, causing numerous problems for users.
Many farmers have suggested the creation of an Agricultural Corridor or substitute, similar to those known for the so-called cattle trails and greenways that are transhumance paths linking the traditional grazing areas of Spain for pastors and farmers can take goats, sheep and cattle grazing to the best advantage the fair weather.
The existence of a corridor in the Shire Agricultural Guadalentín would plot a route from Puerto Lumbreras at Alhama public roads, strengthen the firm señalizarlo as priority use for transportation vehicles and improve agricultural and livestock heavy (trucks, tractors, motor and trailer and agricultural machinery in general).
The idea would be about shortcuts and alternative and more direct communication between municipalities.
Also facilitate the transport of many farmers who have to get their crops from one municipality to another of the region, trying to use other alternatives.
This will also protect the roads that are not equipped to handle large tonnages, warning other users in the corridor are primarily vehicles traveling at low speed, as stated in the motion.
