Bike lanes in Passeig de la Zona Franca now open!
The new bike lanes in Passeig de la Zona Franca are now open, connecting the neighbourhoods of La Marina with the city’s cyclable network. The new lanes have enabled a revamp to the spatial layout for mobility in the whole area, with priority given to journeys on foot, on public transport and by bike.
Passeig de la Zona Franca has a central reservation with vegetation and will have the following lanes in each direction:
- One traffic lane.
- One bus lane.
- One service lane: loading and unloading, bus-stops and parking.
- One bike lane.
- The pavement.
Three new pedestrian crossings have also been created along the street.
Nearly 30 km of bike lanes in one year

- Pg. Zona franca.
