We consider that road training is also a good alternative to decongest traffic and avoid accidents. In the same way, it is a priority to resume the studies and procedures carried out so far by the different administrations to improve mobility, “said Iván Rodríguez de Azero.
Another priority raised in the Alisios Norte forum is sustainability: «The unique landscape of the north of the Island must be preserved and we must be firm in caring for the environment, especially around roads, coasts and the National Park of the Teide ».
