Santa Bàrbara street, which connects Rector street with Sant Ramon street, has become a conflict point for traffic in Badalona. Despite having a clearly marked one-way section, many drivers systematically ignore the prohibition.

According to residents in the Coll i Pujol area, this is a common situation that happens daily. Many vehicles choose to use this street as a shortcut, bypassing the signs and creating dangerous situations for other road users.

The problem is worsened by the layout of Santa Bàrbara street, which is particularly narrow. This makes maneuvering extremely difficult when a vehicle driving correctly encounters another car coming from the opposite direction.

In addition to the risk for vehicles, neighbors warn that the situation endangers pedestrians. The sidewalks are very narrow, and the presence of infringing vehicles forces people to walk with extreme caution in this part of Badalona.
