What's that all about? I've been driving for 50 years,and never felt the need to recognise a Pedestrian crossing by having to have flashing lights across the road. Is this another EU directive, or something particular to Fuerteventura/Puerto del Rosario?

Could anyone please tell me if there are any road/building works currently on the F101, left had side, just past the FuerChina traffic island. The island with the three sails on.
Thanks in advance

It would appear that the threat to close the dunes road to Corralejo has been removed. Instead a speed limit of 50kph will be imposed soon.

I meant to post this question 2 weeks ago - 

What are they doing widening the verge of the ring road, what is the point, will it be strong enough to take vehicles so you can pull over so other vehicles can overtake you as they do in some other countries or is it so cyclist don't have to use the main carriageway?

Bet I get a mix of responses to this query 

From RTVAC:

Saw this sign today indicating the Dunes road will be closed for 6 hours tomorrow 23/10

There were two signs one at the roundabout where you turn inland to get to the motorway and the second was at the Parque Holandes roundabout, so not sure which section of the coast road will be closed.

The long awaited plan for the new road between the airport and Pozo Negro, which will form part of the dual carriageway between Corralejo and Morro Jable has today been approved by the Canarian Government.
