Galician Buses Stuck on Perilous Road: Council Acts After Near Misses

Galician Road's Tight Turns Cause Bus Stand-offs: Council Responds with New Signage In the picturesque Ribeira Sacra region of Galicia, Spain, a narrow and winding road has caused repeated problems for large vehicles. Two tourist buses have become stuck on the LU-4103 road within the last month, prompting local residents to demand action. "We've been warning about this for a long time," said one resident, interviewed in the video. "The road is too narrow and the turns are too sharp for buses." The challenging road features 180-degree turns and a steep incline, making it a dangerous route for larger vehicles, especially those following GPS instructions that may not account for these difficulties. In response, the Lugo Provincial Council, responsible for the road's maintenance, has installed three new signs warning drivers of the road's limitations. The signs clearly indicate that vehicles over 10 meters long are prohibited. While the council says the location of the signs is ideal for visibility and safety, some locals believe they should be positioned further up the road to give drivers more time to react. Despite this minor disagreement, the new signs represent a positive step towards preventing future incidents and ensuring the safety of drivers and tourists in the increasingly popular Ribeira Sacra region.
