The Huesca City Council has launched the programming for European Mobility Week with an extensive information campaign regarding the imminent implementation of the new cycling regulation. This initiative aims to spread the main traffic rules that will apply to bicycles, electric scooters, and other personal mobility vehicles, in collaboration with the Local Police and the General Traffic Directorate.
The campaign is carried out through multiple channels: social media, urban mupis, posters, media outlets, and the municipal website. Additionally, educational talks will be held in schools and institutes targeting young people aged 15 and 16, the minimum age to use these vehicles, starting this Thursday, September 18, at IES Ramón y Cajal at 11:30 AM.
Prohibition in «la T»: The ordinance, currently under public consultation, highlights the regulation of the leisure area known as «la T,» which includes the Porches de Galicia and the first sections of Cosos Alto and Bajo. In this space, the circulation of bicycles will be prohibited during commercial hours and personal mobility vehicles will be prohibited at all times, to ensure accessibility for elderly people and pedestrians.

Complementary Activities
