Avenida de Madrid в Calp

Description

Avenida Madrid is located in a central, historically established part of the city. It is a short street with predominantly residential buildings, a noticeable gradient, and two-way traffic on separated carriageways.

Location and terrain

The street is about 370 m long and runs east to west. Its elevation above sea level ranges from 9 to 24.5 m, with a total elevation difference of 15.4 m. The average gradient is 7.9%; along approximately 5% of its length, the gradient exceeds 12.4%.

Buildings and street character

There are two buildings on the street, and residential use predominates. Two storeys is typical, while the maximum is ten: the buildings vary in height, and most are noticeably shorter than the tallest one.

Road and traffic

Traffic flows in both directions on separate carriageways; there is usually one lane. The road has a hard surface—asphalt or another solid road surface, not an unpaved one.

What to keep in mind

The noticeable gradient is felt when walking, especially with a stroller or trolley, and can be challenging for older people. Some sections are steeper than the average, so when assessing a specific address, it is important to consider where along the street the building is located.
