The Irun City Council has asked the Ertzaintza to establish traffic controls in Oiartzun to prevent vehicles trapped in traffic jams at the border from searching for other routes on rural roads, which have collapsed these days .

The mayor of Irun, Cristina Laborda, told journalists on Tuesday that the City Council has already put in place a special device for the next few days in anticipation of long traffic jams atthe border due to the return operation.

To prevent this from happening again, Laborda has called for "exceptional measures" such as lifting toll barriers or managing traffic before reaching this town.

The City Council believes that, in addition to the initiatives of previous years, a control outside Irun should be added, specifically on the departures from Oiartzun , and avoid diversionsto rural roads.

Laborda has pointed out that these controls would be a "key measure" to prevent vehicles unable to advance along the main roads from seeking alternative routes and thus moving the problem to the streets of Irun.
