Conegliano, the road revolution has begun to free Campolongo from the grip of traffic

From this morning, via Santa Rosa can only be covered in alternating one-way. Objective: to prevent motorists from using it to bypass the Pontebbana

CONEGLIANO. Waited for four years, the experimentation of the viability to reduce the crossing traffic in Campolongo began today. This morning the bottlenecks were traced and the signs were placed along via Santa Rosa. In this way, alternating one-way streets have been created, which will serve to slow down the vehicles but above all to discourage the passage along the road. A neighborhood street that, however, too often, is used as an alternative to Pontebbana from Cadore Mare and from the exit of the A27-A28 motorway.

“Finally the first intervention”: this is how the Vivere Campolongo Committee expresses satisfaction, which for some time has been talking to the municipal administration and studying formulas to reduce crossing traffic. The announcement was made on Facebook in the morning by the councilor for traffic, Claudia Brugioni: «The alternating one-way street is operational». The intervention is part of the project package envisaged to mitigate traffic in the hamlet which, in an east-west direction and vice versa, is used by thousands of motorists every day as a shortcut to avoid clogging of the Pontebbana.

Physical barriers will be installed next week to delimit the narrowing of the carriageway on Via Santa Rosa. To monitor the alternating one-way street, radars will be placed in different points, to check if and how the habits of motorists will change. It will take at least a month to understand how traffic will change. It is trusted that, in particular those coming from the provincial Cadore Mare in San Vendemiano, will continue on the same provincial road to enter Pontebbana, thus avoiding crossing Campolongo.
