The popular beach in Santa Cruz registered a high influx of bathers from early morning, coinciding with the first weekend of August and high temperatures. Numerous drivers headed towards the capital's coast, causing complications on the San Andrés (TF-11) highway.
Families and groups of friends opted for the coast to seek rest and more pleasant temperatures. In response, the Santa Cruz de Tenerife City Council has enabled a priority lane for buses on the TF-11 for this Saturday and Sunday. The measure, active between 09:00 and 18:00, aims to speed up public transport.
This preferential lane, part of the protocol activated by the Local Administration Operational Coordination Center (Cecopal) due to heat forecasts and expected high user numbers, runs from the Dársena Pesquera roundabout to the end of the San Andrés maritime avenue. It allows buses to move more fluidly despite general traffic jams.
The council thus promotes bus usage to prevent complete blockage of one of the main access points to the coast. Visitors are advised to opt for public transport when going to Las Teresitas during peak hours.
The situation of high influx and potential traffic jams is expected to repeat on Sunday, when thousands of people are likely to head to the beach to cool off.
