Vehicle mobility is one of the problems affecting Valledupar.
According to the report of the Municipal Traffic Secretariat, around 20,000 vehicles and 40,000 motorcycles are registered. The figure could be double, taking into account that other vehicles registered in other transit agencies such as La Paz and San Diego (Cesar) also circulate in the city.

Road chaos in the capital of Cesar
we have found that the invasion of public space is our biggest problem. On two and three lane roads, which should be used to speed up circulation, they are occupied by other vehicles
Most of these vehicles invade the public space of this city. Every day, cars parked on both sides of the street, drivers who stop to buy on any corner, motorcycles that circulate on prohibited roads, without caring about their social behavior, are observed.
This is the main factor causing the road chaos in the capital of Cesar, a barrier that prevents progress in the development of mobility in this area of the country.

“During the tours and diagnoses, we have found that the invasion of public space is our biggest problem in terms of mobility. On two- and three-lane roads that should be used to speed up vehicular traffic, they are being occupied by other vehicles,” explained Manuel Palacio, Valledupar’s transit director.
Increase in road accidents
These actions are for the evaluation of a photodetection project for drivers who are poorly parked, which we want to start implementing from next March”
This situation also affects the increase in road accidents in this locality. According to statistics provided by this sector, in December of last year there were 32 deaths as a result of these accidents, a higher percentage than in 2019.
For the articulation of a better system in the mobility roadmapthis dependency has been developing a cultural pedagogical strategy that allows optimization of the road network and will be replicated in different sectors of the city.

“The idea is to reduce delays and increase traffic flow, especially during the hours of greatest traffic congestion. This will allow students, pedestrians, and drivers to move normally,” the official stressed.
The initiative will also serve as an instrument to subtract the bad habits of the vallenatos around compliance with traffic regulations.
Cultural training comparisons
It will be accompanied by permanent controls in which 50 pedagogical traffic regulators and ten police officers will participate, who will impose ‘cultural training’ subpoenas on all vehicles that are poorly parked.
Parking spaces available
“We hope that 30 more agents accompany us in these controls, through an agreement that we are going to establish with the police for an annual value of 800 million pesos, where we will also incorporate a support team,” Palacio stressed.
During the educational days, people will be reminded to identify the areas where parking is prohibited. They will know what the parking spaces availablein addition to the areas where parking is allowed and how they can do it in these sectors.
