This action responds to the municipal executive's commitment to enhancing the autonomy and safety of blind or low-vision individuals in the city. The new system, called Ciberpas, allows users to activate acoustic signals via a remote control.
These signals indicate when the pedestrian traffic light is green, when it will change phase, or help locate the pole, thus ensuring a safe crossing. Additionally, the volume is adjustable, and the system only activates when necessary, avoiding noise disturbances for residents.
The intervention has been carried out in practically all neighborhoods of the city, including Grau and the beach area. This project is part of a contract that has allowed the renovation of 50% of the city's traffic lights, incorporating devices requested by ONCE.
“"We want all people to be able to move around our city with peace of mind and autonomy."
The City Council plans a second phase to complete the adaptation of the remaining traffic lights, with the goal of achieving total accessibility in Gandia. An ONCE representative in Gandia highly praised the implementation of these systems, highlighting the local government's sensitivity towards people with functional diversity.
