On Sunday evening, La Manga experienced significant traffic congestion following a series of minor collisions near the exit, prompting local residents to urge authorities for increased police presence during peak hours. Although none of the incidents were severe, the line of vehicles was reported to have stretched all the way to the seventh kilometre, as holidaymakers made their way home after a day at the beach.

Traffic jams in La Manga have become a common summer occurrence, but the recent events have sparked fresh calls for effective measures to alleviate the ongoing problems. Residents expressed their frustrations over social media, providing photographic evidence of the lengthy queues that built up.

As visitors returned from the region’s main tourist hub, concerns among locals regarding traffic management intensified. With a growing number of tourists during the summer months, residents feel that additional police officers are needed to regulate the situation, especially during busy hours.

Authorities are being urged to study the traffic issues further and consider implementable solutions that could help streamline vehicle flow, benefitting both residents and visitors during this peak holiday season.
