IN a significant move towards enhancing road accessibility for the visually impaired, the Mobility Area of Palma City Council, in partnership with the social entity ONCE, has installed three new sound traffic lights across the city. These installations, positioned at strategic pedestrian crossings, aim to cater to the accessibility needs of blind individuals. Deputy mayor of Mobility, Toni Deudero, acted on a request from ONCE’s rehabilitation technicians. Locations include the pedestrian crossing at Carrer de Caro where it meets Avinguda de Argentina; Avinguda de la Argentina at the Carrer de Sant Magi intersection, and Carrer d’Arago at the junction with Carrer de Faust Morell and Carrer de Gabriel Maura. Deudero highlighted the council’s commitment to mobility and road accessibility support for visually impaired residents. He also explained an ongoing commitment to collaborate with ONCE, going beyond just sound traffic lights. “It is essential to support this group... all constructive proposals that come from ONCE will be attended to,” Deudero emphasised, promising further installations if requested by ONCE.
