Madrid’s A-5 becomes a deadly trap

The modernization project to bury the entrance to Madrid through the A-5 has become a nightmare, with traffic jams and dangerous curves. The City Council’s plan is now seen as a risk rather than a solution.

### Unexpected Layout
The underground construction has led to a maze of detours with sharp curves and lane narrowing, causing confusion for drivers.

### Dangerous Curves
Areas like Campamento have blind curves, elevation changes, concrete walls, and intersections, leading to accidents like the recent fatality of a motorcyclist.

### Inadequate Signage
Complaints about small signs with insufficient size and no prior warnings have led to late turns and abrupt maneuvers, creating risks for drivers.
