The AP-7 records "Slowness and stops" between Santa Perpètua and Barberà

The AP-7 experiences slowdowns and stops between Santa Perpètua de Mogoda and Barberà del Vallès, while the C-60 is congested between Argentona and la Roca del Vallès. This is the traffic situation reported by Trànsit on September 8.

If you plan to travel through these sections, the message points to complicated traffic in both directions on the AP-7 and congestion on the C-60 towards Granollers. The difference is clear: in some points there are stops, and in others traffic moves forward, but slowly.

How is Traffic on the AP-7?

Where are the stops in the Southbound Direction?

In the southbound direction, Trànsit reports slowdowns and stops between Santa Perpètua de Mogoda and Barberà del Vallès. This section therefore has a disruption that may force drivers to reduce speed and drive with pauses.

The information does not specify the length of the backlog or the travel time. For this reason, the most accurate description is to relay the situation exactly as the service has communicated it: there is slow traffic and stops between these two towns in Vallès.

For those heading south, the practical data is the location. Santa Perpètua de Mogoda and Barberà del Vallès are the reference points to check before getting onto the highway or while driving on it.

This is not a general incident across the entire route according to the published message, but an issue located in a specific segment and in a determined direction. This detail helps avoid broader interpretations of what the communication actually says.

What is the Situation Northbound?

Northbound, Trànsit notes slowdowns in Barberà del Vallès and Mollet del Vallès. The message does not mention stops in this direction, but slow traffic at the two indicated points.

This offers a different reading of the situation compared to southbound. Drivers heading north may encounter congestion, but the available information does not allow us to say that traffic is completely stopped throughout the entire stretch between Barberà and Mollet.

The wisest recommendation is to stay alert to changes in traffic and check Trànsit updates before traveling. Conditions can vary, especially when traffic is already dense.

• Southbound: slowdowns and stops between Santa Perpètua de Mogoda and Barberà del Vallès.
• Northbound: slowdowns at Barberà del Vallès and Mollet del Vallès.
• Information source: Trànsit, via a post on X.

This separation by direction is useful because Barberà del Vallès appears in both disruptions, but with a different intensity described. In one direction there are slowdowns and stops; in the other, Trànsit reports slow traffic.

What’s Happening on the C-60 Towards Granollers?

Between which points is the C-60 congested?

The C-60 shows heavy traffic between Argentona and la Roca del Vallès heading towards Granollers. This is the second road section included in Trànsit’s warning and affects trips moving in that direction.

The expression “congested” describes a road with a high vehicle density, but the message does not specify that there are stops. It also does not provide any duration, length of the queue, or cause of the buildup.

Therefore, anyone planning to travel on the C-60 should keep in mind three key elements: the stretch between Argentona and la Roca del Vallès, the direction towards Granollers, and the presence of dense traffic.

The information is brief but sufficiently specific to locate the problem area. There is no need to expand a traffic alert into a larger explanation than what the data allow: the key is to identify the stretch and adjust the itinerary if necessary.

How does this affect trips towards Granollers?

Vehicles heading to Granollers via the C-60 may face slower traffic between Argentona and la Roca del Vallès. The Trànsit message does not allow calculating how much extra time the trip may take.

This lack of figures does not reduce the usefulness of the alert. In traffic reporting, knowing that a route is “congested” allows travelers to prepare for the trip with more margin and avoid expecting the route to be as smooth as usual.

The information also distinguishes this situation from that of the AP-7. On the highway, Trànsit mentions slowdowns and stops southbound, and slowdowns northbound; on the C-60, it reports high density towards Granollers.

For drivers, this table summarizes the essential information without adding causes not included in the alert. The best decision will depend on the starting point, destination, and the evolution of traffic at the time of departure.

It is also important to avoid a common confusion: the fact that the same town appears in both directions does not mean the entire route is affected in the same way. In this case, Barberà del Vallès is listed in both the southbound and northbound incidents, but with different descriptions.

The most precise journalistic reading is therefore this: the AP-7 has flow problems around Santa Perpètua de Mogoda, Barberà del Vallès, and Mollet del Vallès, while the C-60 concentrates density between Argentona and la Roca del Vallès towards Granollers.

For those who must drive these roads, the Trànsit information serves as an operational warning: expect less fluid traffic, especially on the AP-7 southbound, where the message specifies that there are slowdowns and stops. Checking road conditions before departure can help make a decision better suited to the situation.

The AP-7 and C-60 have disruptions in specific stretches: stops and slowdowns southbound, slowdowns northbound, and congested traffic towards Granollers. The available data do not indicate cause or duration, but do highlight points drivers should keep in mind before setting off.
