A-7 versus AP-7 (Malaga)
Discussion
Driving from Gibraltar to Malaga on the coastal road (A7), which has a limit of 80km/h, I was concerned by the number of very short slip roads / Stop sign entry points.
[i]"The A-7 is a busy road with high density, due to the fact that it is located directly on the coast and joining all the coastal municipalities. Since in many sections the A-7 is actually the old national road, there are many areas with only two lanes and narrow curves that force you to slow down at 80 km / h.
Another major disadvantage is the quality of driving; There are numerous departures from the urbanizations with a very short or nonexistent acceleration lane and often the driver of the right lane is forced to brake suddenly by reckless incorporations."[/i]

Has anyone driven this road? Would you agree that a limit of 60km/h would be better?
Interestingly the signs for the autopista (with toll charge) point out that it is safer. While I don't doubt that, I am surprised that they admit that extra charge means a safer journey.
