Salvini and the clash with the Municipalities on 30 km/h. “In some areas the limit can be increased from 50 to 70.” The directive
The Lega receives the first yes in the Senate on Autonomyma Salvini in addition to rejoicing for the historic milestone, he also announces a new political move. One ready directive against “30 per hour” in cities. In this short-circuit between the freedom of local administrators and decisions taken by Rome, Bologna is the epicenter of the conflict. From 16 January – we read in Repubblica – the Municipality began to fine motorists who exceed 30 per hour on most of the city’s streets, after introducing the “collective slowdown” already since July. After a week of harsh political conflict, the directive was issued yesterday. “The provision serves to standardize road criteria in which the limit of 30 per hour can be introduced – explains Galeazzo Bignamideputy minister of transport and leading exponent of FdI in Bologna — there are some conditions to be respected: presence of schools and sensitive places. Factors that pose a safety risk must be present.”

The directive – continues Repubblica – it is immediately enforceable and exceeds the ordinances of the Municipality, the list of 30 streets in Bologna will have to be rewritten. The Salvini ministry specifies in a note that the exceptions to the 50 kilometers per hour must always be justified, and “can only be provided for individual roads or sections of road”. There are also cases where the limit of 50 can be retouched upwards and reach 70, the MIT points out, such as in “urban traffic roads”. To go below 50 you need stretches of road “with frequent vehicular entrances and exits from factories, establishments, kindergartens, schools, playgrounds and the like”. The mayor of Bologna Lepore: “There are few fines in Bologna, it would be dangerous to relax the controls”.
