In that street it is visible that cars have to share the space with buses and in the corner there is a junction with a cycle track, and for each one there is a specific sign. There are some apartments buildings next to one or two floors houses and in the background some more are under construction. It is also notable the little green space at the right. It is possible to see that this is a medium density area, that in the future might become more dense and the street will have to deal with the future traffic problems. Also, this is an area with some considerable patrimonial architecture that should be protected besides the need of higher bildings to exploit the little space that is still available. So because in this area is predicted to have more people living, we can prevent traffic problems by starting a campaign to use the public transport, have more use of bicycles and take advantage of the centrality in wich all the services this people might need are near.
