The Councilwoman for Mobility and Citizen Security, Montserrat Paz, along with other authorities and representatives from security and emergency services, participated today in A Coruña in the commemorative event for the World Day of Remembrance for Traffic Accident Victims. The event took place in front of the Concello's Mobility service, at the old bus station.
During her speech, Paz noted that in 2025 there were no fatal pedestrian accidents in the city, calling this data a "positive indicator" that should "give us encouragement," while emphasizing the need to "aspire to more" and not become complacent, as "a single accident, a single injured person, is already too many."
The councilwoman also advocated for the importance of promoting sustainable city models that prioritize pedestrians and improve road safety. "Urban humanization and pedestrianization projects are specifically designed to fundamentally transform our way of thinking and doing. More space for pedestrians and more traffic control mean fewer accidents," she stated.
“"Cities that are walkable are, besides being more comfortable for residents, safer"
The event included the traditional minute of silence for the victims, the reading of a manifesto by the association Stop Accidentes, and a floral offering at the tree planted in memory of the victims.
