Following the change in direction of Roser street, renovation efforts continue in Reus to improve city center mobility. Doctor Robert street will be the next to be reformed to comply with European Low Emission Zone (LEZ) regulations.

Starting Monday, June 8th, a retractable bollard will be installed at the street's entrance, connecting to Catalunya square. This measure will restrict access for unauthorized vehicles. The works, expected to last two to three weeks, will include a complete traffic closure for two days, between June 8th and 10th.

To minimize disruptions, access to Santa Anna raval will be enabled for all vehicles, and the direction of Roser street will be reversed. Additionally, access to Puríssima Sang alley will be regulated with two automatic bollards, and a new one will be installed on Sant Pere Apòstol street.

The new traffic restrictions, with bollards active between 11 AM and 2 AM, will be coordinated with existing control points. Authorized vehicles, including registered residents with vehicle tax paid in Reus, public services, taxis, and emergency vehicles, will be able to access via a license plate recognition system.

Registered residents who pay taxes outside Reus, as well as parking owners or renters in the area and relatives of individuals over 70 years old, will need to apply for a specific permit. The council has sent explanatory letters, and an adaptation period is set before the measures become fully effective on July 20th.

This initiative is expected to redirect approximately 10,400 daily vehicles currently using Doctor Robert street. The Councilor for Security and Coexistence, Dolors Vázquez, stated the goal is for cars to use the outer ring roads for longer journeys, reducing downtown traffic.

Future actions to pedestrianize Doctor Robert street and enhance its use by pedestrians are not ruled out, given the current narrow sidewalks that hinder mobility for strollers and wheelchair users.
