The Gáldar City Council, in collaboration with the Local Police and Radio Gáldar, has launched a campaign to improve road safety during the Santiago Major Festivals and summer travel.

The initiative, which benefits from the advice of road safety expert Bernardo Hernández, aims to raise awareness about preventing road risks.
During the Santiago Major Festivals, the campaign will focus on specific messages regarding traffic changes planned for the scheduled events. It emphasizes the importance of always respecting temporary signage and following the directions of the Local Police to ensure traffic flow and the safety of residents and visitors.
Furthermore, several radio spots have been produced with recommendations for summer travel, focusing on basic safety guidelines for high temperatures, especially when traveling with children, the elderly, or pets, and calling for responsible driving during these months of increased mobility.
The goal of the Gáldar City Council is to promote responsible behavior that contributes to reducing risks and ensuring safe festivities and a secure summer for everyone.
