He considers that the installation of these traffic lights " was not the optimal and definitive solution to the problem of atmospheric and noise pollution suffered by the residents of the area ," but he also assures that " removing them is not the alternative ." According to the mayor, the traffic lights have not only resolved noise problems in the area but have also improved safety at the junctions with Paseo de Extremadura from Carretera de Boadilla and Avenida de los Poblados , both in the direction of Madrid, in addition to facilitating Pedestrian access to bus stops .
Instead of making hasty and regressive decisions, the Madrid government should act with measures that really solve the problems, such as the declaration of Paseo de Extremadura and its residential environment as a Special Acoustic Protection Zone (from the exit of the tunnel of the Avenida de Portugal to the intersection with the M-40), the construction of park and ride facilities , the establishment of new bus lines in this corridor and the implementation of a reversible lane in addition to the maintenance of the bus lane throughout the section "says González . "The socialists are willing to discuss serious , realistic and sustainable measures that advance the definitive conversion of that section of the A5 into an urban road ," although it recognizes that " any decision must be coordinated at the metropolitan level and count on the regional government and the state government , still in office today ,” he concluded.
