The Traffic Education Park in Orihuela Costa is finally set for revitalisation after being abandoned for over twenty years. The local government has announced a budget of seventy-seven thousand five hundred forty-six euros to facilitate the necessary upgrades, following demands from residents and local educational institutions for a designated area for traffic safety education. The park has not been operational due to its deteriorating condition; however, improvements will aim to restore it to a functional state.

Key enhancements will include resurfacing the existing circuit, installing new traffic signs, and upgrading public furnishings and lighting for better visibility. Security measures will also be strengthened with the addition of controlled access gates and a perimeter fence to deter vandalism and ensure safe use by schoolchildren. Moreover, there will be rest areas complete with canopies, benches, waste bins, and drinking fountains to improve visitor comfort.

The new design incorporates a theoretical learning space featuring informative panels and interactive resources for explaining traffic rules prior to practical training on the circuit. Specialised practice zones for bicycles and electric scooters will be included, adapting the facility to modern urban mobility needs. Additionally, local law enforcement and safety organisations are expected to collaborate on workshops and educational sessions for students, reinforcing responsible traffic habits from an early age.

The council representative highlighted the park’s importance, stating it will serve as an essential educational resource for local children and youth, providing a secure environment for practical learning. Construction is anticipated to last approximately three months, adhering to all current accessibility and safety regulations, ultimately creating a pivotal space for community engagement in road safety awareness.
