Traffic grew 34% between the road\u00b4s opening and December 2004. Performance has been similar since January 2005 (+35%). Since opening on 7 April 2004, the toll road has not registered any fatal accidents.<\/p>\n<p>An average of over 425,000 vehicles per month and over 14,000 per day use this toll road as an alternative to the A-4 highway. Since the road\u00b4s opening, the migration towards electronic payment has been significant: the percentage of cash payments has fallen from 70% in April 2004 to 53% in March 2005 as users switched to the V\u00eda-T electronic toll system, which is compatible with all the toll roads in Spain.<\/p>\n<p>The heaviest traffic on the R-4 was on 23 March 2005, when it registered 48,660 vehicles. The previous record had been set on 3 December 2004, with 42,537 vehicles. There was also heavy traffic on 27 March (47,522 vehicles) and 28 March (44,220). Those dates coincided with the Easter holiday.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Safety and environmental actions<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The safety record in the first year is good: zero fatalities. The R-4 was designed in compliance with the demanding road safety requirements.<\/p>\n<p>During construction of the toll road, several environmental actions were performed, including protection of the lesser kestrel (obtaining a plot for its feeding and constructing a nesting area to ensure the species&#8221; continuation in the area) and measures to offset the effects on gypsicola vegetation, restoration of gravel pits and spray plantation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Decongestion of the A-4 highway<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Radial 4 road between Madrid and Oca\u00f1a was created in order to alleviate the heavy traffic on the A-4 highway. Running parallel to the A-4 highway, the Radial 4 toll road is a fast, safe route for long-haul traffic between Madrid and Southern Spain and for traffic to and from the towns near the A-4.<\/p>\n<p>The 54-kilometre R-4 road starts on the M-50 ring road and ends in Oca\u00f1a. The R-4 passes by Getafe, Pinto, Parla, Valdemoro, Sese\u00f1a, Torrej\u00f3n de Velasco, Aranjuez, Ont\u00edgola, Dos Barrios and Oca\u00f1a.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Toll roads in Spain, Europe, Canada and the US<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Cintra is one of the world\u00b4s leading private-sector developers of transport infrastructure, with a committed investment of 1.7 billion euro in 17 toll roads, in Europe, Canada and the US. Cintra manages eight toll roads in Spain.<\/p>\n<p>In January 2005, Cintra began to construct the Madrid-East Coast toll road between Oca\u00f1a and La Roda, which is a direct continuation of the R-4. Both toll roads will make up a 212-kilometre corridor between Madrid and La Roda, providing an alternative to the current A-3 highway between Central and Eastern Spain.<\/p>\n<p>NOTE: Transit is understood as each time a vehicle passes a toll plaza along the road.<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n
