Starting this Friday, December 19, Valencia City Hall will implement a set of special measures to manage traffic in the city center on the occasion of the Christmas campaign, during from 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. … The restrictions will apply until December 29, with the exception of the 25th, as well as from January 1 to 5, 2026 at the same time.
Due to the large influx of pedestrians expected for these days, the council will adopt various traffic restrictions, detours and adjustments to public transport. In addition, the local Valencia police can enforce parking bans and carry out traffic cuts when they deem it necessary.
Checks in different areas of the city
During the period of validity of the measures, there will be a special reinforced Local Police system which will establish saturation checks on the following access routes to the city center: Calle de la Pau with Marqués de Dosaigües, Avenue del Oest with Quevedo, Sant Vicent Màrtir with Periodista Azzati, Sant Vicent Màrtir with Sant Pau, Xàtiva with Plaza Sant Agustí and Xàtiva with Marqués de Sotelo. These reductions may be expanded, modified or reduced as needed.
In addition, they will establish preventive controls in Colón with the Porta de la Mar; Gran Vía Marqués del Túria with the Count of Salvatierra, Isabel la Catòlica and Pizarro; and Gran Vía de les Germanies with Russafa Street.
At the same time, the Local Police may carry out cuts or diversions for traffic in general, only authorizing passage, if possible, to people with reduced mobility, to public transport, to residents, to access to public and private parking lots and to vehicles that carry out loading and unloading tasks during specific hours. Likewise, they may authorize passage to vehicles which, in their opinion, can or must access for reasons of general interest or urgent necessity which cannot be postponed.
It will also be established a police mobility management system, from 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. at the following locations: El Saler Shopping Center, Aqua and El Corte Inglés Shopping Centers on Avenida de Francia, Nuevo Centro, Arena Shopping Center and Christmas Fair.
