This major route, which connects several key areas in Tenerife, has seen numerous collisions over the years, raising concerns about road safety among local residents and authorities.
The combination of high traffic volume, especially during peak hours, and challenging driving conditions has made the TF-5 a hotspot for accidents, prompting calls for improved safety measures and infrastructure upgrades to reduce the risk of such incidents.
