An hour and ten minutes is what it takes to get from the AVE Castellon to Barcelona. If we lengthen the journey to the French border same time will be one hour and 55 minutes. While
and imagine that we can go to visit the Ramblas and the Teatro del Liceo in no more time than we now employ to reach the city of Valencia we thought arises that we are disturbed by the absurd: How can you reach us BCN costs less time than a round-Vila-real Castellón? How can
to travel 300 km. cost us less time than 16 km.?
absurd is that a route between Vila-real and Castellón mean 46 minutes. Or what is the same, we get an average of 9 mph, which is enough to secure that nobody discount no part of our driver's license for speeding.
And is that communication between Vila-real and Castellón well as dangerous is becoming desperate. Dangerous because the famous roundabout RACC's report set as a black dot the Mediterranean corridor traffic is increasing and is becoming a black hole, ie a density of traffic so that once inside the drivers have to a show of skill because of the attraction with infinite speed printing traffic entering the roundabout. And that is to enter it must be played on the vehicle type and give it decent acceleration of R-25 of Fernando Alonso. And it's frustrating because other roundabouts, those crosses some call it twisted, do not fulfill their role and the taxes are endless.
All that leads to these absurd 46 minutes. Why between the capital and second city of the province there is no four-lane highway?
Now the slogan of the Popular Party is blaming the central government to the original sin, but in this case it will be difficult. Have to accept that the current situation is only a reflection of the political infrastructure that the Popular Party has developed. On the one hand has to do with the extreme weakness of the Mayor of Vila-real, Manuel Vilanova, who has not been able to demand what it is up to the Regional Administration and partly a reflection of zero interest to bring investment Camps Vila-real.
is unacceptable that Vila-real not currently have a four-lane exit to Valencia to link to the CV-10 (highway de la Plana) and is a crime that Vila-real does not have a fast connection to four lanes with the capital la Plana. In this framework metropolitan of 275,000 is not possible to maintain a road section with 4 major accidents per mile starting from the year 2001 and it is not possible to maintain an infrastructure with more than 25,000 vehicles per day.
Vila-real, without direct access to the CV-10 and VC-18 (highway Castellón-Almassora-Borrina-Nules) or the capital of the province has suffered most these years. Vilanova has not hatched from the Plaza Mayor and meanwhile Vila-real, Castellón: 46 minutes.
