Spanish cathedral installs indoor traffic lights to control crowds
MADRID (AFP) - A medieval cathedral in Spain's Mediterranean port of Valencia has installed two indoor traffic lights to help control the influx of visitors expected during Holy Week which begins on Sunday The traffic lights were placed at the bottom of the 207 steps of Valencia Cathedral's octagonal bell tower, which offers sweeping views of the city, as well as at the top of the staircase, the cathedral said on its website. The traffic lights were set up earlier this month "to avoid jams between the groups of people who climb and descend the stairs of the bell tower" and are controlled either manually or automatically with sensors, it added. The Roman Catholic cathedral was completed in the 15th century and its bell tower, La Miguelete, is a city landmark. Thousands of people flock to the cathedral during Holy Week -- the seven days before Easter -- for special services and festivities. It contains numerous treasures, including two paintings by Francisco de Goya, a 14th century lantern and a golden chalice which is believed by many to have been used by Christ during the Last Supper.
The failed to mention the fine for failing to obey the traffic signals is 5 Hail Marys and 3 Our Fathers for the first offense, 10 and 5 for the second and 20 and 10 for the third. There is also a 30 day loss of visiting privilege to the Valencia Cathedral.
