An anonymous reader, drawing on personal experience and recent observations, is calling for a reduction in the circulation speed on Madeira's entire Via Rápida. The letter writer, who stopped driving on this road due to the pressure to travel at high speeds, expresses safety concerns.
The reader suggests installing speed cameras along the Via Rápida, arguing that the road itself is inherently fast and does not require excessive speeds. The appeal aims to alert the relevant authorities to implement these measures, which have been suggested by many locals and visitors over the years, especially following recent incidents.
The text also indirectly mentions the pain caused by recent outcomes, referring to accidents that have occurred on the island, including one that resulted in a death in Santa Cruz and another where motorcyclists were filmed travelling at extreme speeds on the Via Rápida.
