Reserved parking sign for medical appointments with a 30-minute limit.

The Alcobendas City Council has launched an initiative to improve accessibility to health services, enabling exclusive parking spaces for patients at the five municipal health clinics, with a 30-minute limit.

This measure, long-awaited by residents of Alcobendas, seeks to solve the difficulty of finding parking near health centers. The new spaces are located next to the five clinics in the municipality, distributed across the city's different districts.
Specifically, in the Central District, spaces have been enabled at the La Chopera and Miraflores health centers. In the North District, the benefiting clinics are Valdelasfuentes and Marqués de la Valdavia. Finally, in the Urbanizations District, the measure extends to the Arroyo de la Vega health center.
The parking spaces operate from Monday to Friday, between 8:00 AM and 8:00 PM. Outside this period, parking returns to its usual unrestricted regime. The key to this initiative is the 30-minute parking limit, designed to ensure high turnover and allow as many patients as possible to use them throughout the day.

"The objective is to ensure that the spaces are available for the largest possible number of patients throughout the day, preventing a vehicle from occupying the space for hours while its driver carries out other errands unrelated to the medical consultation."

The corresponding signage has already been installed at all locations, clearly informing about the conditions of use. This action is part of the municipal commitment to improve accessibility to primary care services, facilitating the daily lives of elderly people, patients with reduced mobility, or those who depend on a vehicle for their medical appointments.
