PS Councillor Demands Clarity on Serra de l’Honor Roundabout Safety and Planning
Laia Moliné questions the Andorra government's technical, safety, and urban decisions for the steep-gradient roundabout project, probing winter.
Key Points
- Councillor Laia Moliné seeks engineering standards and safety measures for steep Serra de l’Honor roundabout.
- Requests winter studies on snow/ice performance and risk countermeasures.
- Questions urban planning fit and if it enables adjacent land development.
- Demands assurance project serves public mobility, not private interests, with full transparency.
Laia Moliné, councillor from the Social Democratic Party (PS) parliamentary group, has submitted a written question to the Sindicatura demanding government clarifications on the technical, safety, and urban planning decisions behind the Serra de l’Honor roundabout in La Massana.
The project connects the existing main road to the future variant in an area of steep gradient, raising doubts about its placement and engineering. Moliné seeks specifics on the road engineering standards and safety measures applied to ensure reliable traffic flow amid the pronounced slope.
Winter conditions feature prominently in her concerns, with requests for details on dedicated studies assessing the roundabout’s performance in snow and ice, as well as any countermeasures planned to mitigate user risks.
The query also examines urban implications, asking whether the roundabout aligns with broader planning frameworks and could enable parceling or development of adjacent undeveloped plots. The PS demands confirmation that the initiative serves public mobility needs alone, rather than promoting specific private land interests, and outlines the transparency processes used to prevent conflicts.
Moliné further questions the executive’s view on this growth model in high-slope zones, balancing safety, territorial sustainability, and overall public benefit. One report hints at potentially unclear motives in the site choice, though no evidence is cited.
This action reflects the PS effort to enforce rigorous technical, safety, and sustainability standards for road infrastructure, alongside maximum transparency. Most coverage names Laia Moliné as the councillor, with one exception referring to Judith Moliné.
