Road safety under discussion
This tragic event brings to light the theme of road safety, especially for the youngest. Provincial roads, often characterized by heavy traffic and reckless driving behavior, require greater attention and safety measures. Local authorities are called upon to reflect on how to improve safety for pedestrians and cyclists, especially near public transport stops, where the risks are greater.
