Just checked the location

Do you come from the wrong side of the tracks

Yes it is a dangerous road.

I think it's unlikely a standard pedestrian crossing would be installed on the N125 at that particular point as it would be too dangerous, as it's effectively the Tavira by pass, and was built for traffic to move at speed! However, they may consider the installation of a "traffic light controlled" crossing as they have in other places along the road. I imagine it will be expensive though, and probably wouldn't fall under the powers the local Camara have.

However, that doesn't mean there isn't a case for it, but I suspect it will be a long time coming!
