Torrevieja limits parking on Ramón Gallud: two hours maximum on weekdays

The restriction will be in place from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. starting this Tuesday, without affecting non-working days, in one of the main commercial and service areas.

The Local Police Councillor of Torrevieja City Council, Federico Alarcón, has announced that starting this Tuesday, September 15, a new parking regulation will be in effect on Ramón Gallud Street, one of the main commercial and service roads in the city centre.

The new measure establishes that on weekdays, between 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m., the maximum parking time will be two hours. Outside of these hours, from 8:00 p.m. until 8:00 a.m. the following day, parking will be permitted without this time limit. Similarly, the two-hour restriction will not apply on weekends or holidays.

Alarcón pointed out that this modification aims to organize parking in Ramón Gallud and facilitate a greater turnover of vehicles during peak hours, ensuring that a greater number of citizens can have parking spaces to shop, run errands, visit commercial establishments or access the different services available in the city center.

The City Council has placed the corresponding vertical signage on this road, which expressly informs of the parking times and conditions so that drivers can clearly identify the new regulations.

The councilor has asked drivers to pay close attention to the new traffic signs and respect the maximum time allowed during the regulated parking period. He also explained that the new system is in response to the need to adapt parking conditions on Ramón Gallud to the high volume of traffic this road experiences for much of the day.

Thanks Carl. It is rare to find a street parking space in Torrevieja central streets. We always use the Car Parks saves all the driving around looking for a space. I was very surprised this summer to find lots of empty parking spaces in the underground car park under Paseo Vistalegre.

I had seen posts on social media about that.

Many comments posted suggested that the opening of Paseo del Mar and the ongoing port development work had deterred people from parking there. The concerns seemed to be around ease of exiting the Paseo Vistalegre underground car park.

Maybe Carl. It wouldn't be the nicest of places to be stuck in a traffic jam but it is open at both ends so there might be some bit of air passing through.
