Controversy over changes on the road across the University of Navarre campus

From Azpilagaña to Arostegi Avenue, traffic will be diverted in one direction and at a speed of 30 km/h. The mayor of Zizur Mayor has criticized the lack of dialogue and warned of the mobility difficulties that this one-way road will cause for hundreds of people.

The road that crosses the campus of the University of Navarre will become a one-way cyclable street from which it will travel from Azpilagaña to Arostegi Avenue at a maximumspeedof  30 km/h. 

The Asiron Government has therefore abandoned its initial intention to close the road and instead opted for one-way traffic, but it has not liked everyone. 

The Pamplona City Council has explained in a statement that cycling traffic will be a priority and that, in principle, cycling will take place in the same direction as road traffic, limiting the speed of vehicles to 30 km/h, and that elements will also be put in place to reduce speed.

The sense of circulation from Arostegi Avenue to Azpilagaña has been discarded, because according to the City Council it would cause problems at the crossing of Navarre Avenue with Pius XII. 

In line with these changes, themayor of Zizur Mayor , Jon Gondan, has denounced that the establishment of a single sense in that direction , and not the other way around, "will increase traffic and traffic jams on the Etxabakoitz link, at the height of what is known as Andres Benta."

Gondan has expressed concern and anger at the decision and has criticized the lack of dialogue on this issue, ensuring that no previous meetings have been held.  Zizur Mayor, Pamplona/Iruña and other surrounding villages being a fundamental route for the mobility of hundreds of people who come and go daily, has warned that it will become a problem for many.
