Three new speed cameras in Pietrasanta, soon three more: that's where

They will be installed by early summer. The mayor Giovannetti: "So we save lives"

«Since speed control was activated along the Via Aurelia, there have been no more sinister ones in that jagged stretch of inland roads that lead onto the main route. Where they had been recorded, it should be remembered, 40 incidents in 48 months », they underlined by the Municipality.

For a policy, "in a security key" they add from the town hall, "which will bring a new roundabout in via Avis Donatori – via Marconi to the territory in the coming months, while other devices are already in operation, such as the traffic light camera at the intersection between via Provinciale per Vallecchia and via San Francesco – where in the first 3 months of activation there were 200 sanctions, ed – and further changes in via Tremaiola to Motrone which reduced the risk of conflicts between vehicles in historically high-risk sections and almost zeroed the accidents at the infamous bend, at the traffic light via Lungofiume, from the bumps in Valdicastello and via Torraccia, to the speed limiters in via Pescarella, passing through dozens of interventions on pedestrian crossings and road markings ».

In 2018 claims in the province of Lucca (source Istat) increased by 4.3%, while on the streets of Pietrasanta (Municipal Police data) they decreased by 5.05%. Between 2017 and 2018, fatal claims were also reduced: from 4 to 1 (-75%).

«Those who deny the results and benefits of our anti-speed plan in the area deny the evidence of a result that is for the whole community. We will do whatever is necessary – the mayor raises Alberto Giovannetti – to improve the safety of our roads. We are saving lives. The fines for those who do not respect the speed limits? They are a consequence of not respecting the highway code. The proceeds from the sanctions are destined, by law, to road safety therefore interventions to mitigate accidents and asphalts. We will spend over one million euros over three years to fix the roads. Citizens ask for security, but some politicians do not understand it ".
