Smog: new blocks traffic in Turin and Naples

Still high levels of PM10 pollution in Italian cities. So the only buffer solution seems to be - at least for the government - stop the car. Among thousands of controversy. After Milan, which has already reached the EU bonus of days out of the norm, is now the turn of Turin and Naples, a city that according to research by Legambiente are among the most polluted.

In the shadow of Vesuvius, until the new traffic jams can not be circulated in the days of today and domanidalle 7:30 to 17:30 throughout the city the city of Partenope, based on municipal ordinance that is based data on particulate matter collected dall'Arpac, the Regional Agency for Environmental Protection of Campania.

The problem is that the measure has not been properly advertised, with the result that the car still circulate with people who do not know and those that pretend not to know. The ordinance provides the same type of application of the existing resolution 2285 of December 30, 2010: exclusion from the ban for cars and € 4 LPG or CNG, and for two-wheeled vehicles € 2 and € 3.

Transit vehicles will be permitted to € 2 and € 3 if at least three people on board including the driver. What is "strange" (to put it mildly) is that in recent days have been fixed increases of 20% for the fare of public transport in the metropolitan area. Else "odd" is that the stations have found that the most polluted place in the city is the wood of Capodimonte where, in theory, the air should be cleaner.

They can not make smart, however, motorists in Turin and the hinterland of some common (Beinasco, Borgaro, Collegno, Grugliasco, Moncalieri, Nicholasville, Pinerolo, Rivoli, Seventh, and Venaria Torino) for which the stop is planned for Sunday, February 20th from 10 to 18. Blocking the movement had been scheduled for Sunday, 13.

But to allow for better organization of support services, it was decided to extend it a week. If these two cities close to the car (or at least they try), another is close to public transport vehicles is polluting in Rome, in fact, in today's day and bus stations will go in fits and starts while the so-called "green belt" is not be able to move petrol cars "euro zero" and diesel € 1, 2 and 3.

" Meanwhile, after the controversies of the past days about blocking traffic Sunday in Milan and Lombardy institutions have created a "table" to think about alternative solutions to reduce pollution smog package could include reducing speed, regional incentive 2 million to municipalities to strengthen controls on cars and heating equipment and money to citizens to leave the car in favor of public transport.

In this case, the citizens who renounce the use of private vehicles, in exchange they get a bonus of 3,000 euro per year to use public transport. "
