Car drivers in Seville have a new mobility option from this Monday, allowing them to travel from Feria street towards La Resolana. This lane, previously reserved exclusively for buses and taxis, has been made more flexible as part of the traffic reorganization necessitated by the construction of Metro Line 3 around Doctor Fedriani avenue.
This change permits cars to turn left from Feria street in the direction of La Resolana, a maneuver that was previously restricted. Additionally, the exit from Perafán de Ribera street has been modified, only allowing a right turn towards Torneo for road safety reasons, while prohibiting left turns.
To implement this new regulation, the City Council has removed the previous horizontal signage and deactivated the cameras that used to fine vehicles accessing the reserved lane without authorization. This space, also used by motorcycles, mopeds, and certain authorized transport services, now aims for greater efficiency.
The Ayuntamiento has not specified the duration of this traffic reorganization or when the area's usual configuration will be restored. In parallel, a new camera control system has been implemented on the bus-taxi lane of Paseo de las Delicias, specifically in the section between Glorieta de los Marineros and Moliní avenue, heading south.
The objective of this measure is to deter the misuse of the reserved lane and improve the flow of public transport in an area with high traffic intensity. The new camera, installed opposite Plaza de América, is now accompanied by the corresponding signage to warn drivers. Fines for driving without authorization in bus-taxi lanes amount to 260 euros, with a potential additional surcharge of 30%.
The Seville City Council aims to curb this misuse, thereby facilitating public transport flow and avoiding traffic jams, with this local measure taking effect this Monday. The camera and associated signage are now visible at a specific point on the bus-taxi lane opposite Plaza de América. This measure will not only serve for municipal revenue but, above all, to help keep traffic in Seville optimal despite the inevitability of peak hours.
