The Tenerife Island Council, in the field of Transportation, has adjusted the priority of passage at traffic junctions for Titsa on both the northern highway (TF-5) as well as the southern highway (TF-1), by altering the road markings at 23 different locations. The Mobility councillor, Eulalia Garcia, has stated that this change aims to enhance the visibility for bus drivers and improve the overall flow of public transport, as “buses are now granted priority when merging onto the highways, mitigating delays and enhancing transport efficiency.”
The decision to remove yield signs was based on technical feasibility assessments. Consequently, all junctions that received positive technical evaluations had their priority status adjusted. This alteration is expected to result in enhanced operational efficiency for public transportation services.
Eliminating yield signs at stops along these two highways is part of a larger strategy to enhance the island’s transport system. This initiative complements other measures implemented by the Island Council to address traffic issues, such as restricting heavy vehicle access during peak hours, upgrading the Titsa bus fleet, recruiting new drivers, introducing university shuttle services, reducing travel limits for free public transportation, implementing the Island Sustainable Mobility Plan, and forging partnerships with Ashotel and the University of La Laguna among other initiatives.
