The solution has been based on having one of the accessible routes with a minimum width of 1.80 meters throughout its length.
Also, it is proposed sidewalk pavements and parking lots and roadway on the same grade on the same platform, and the free spaces generated between the car parks and pedestrian crossings are used to locate furniture, garden elements, litter bins, etc.
