End of Road Ban on Gardesana Orientale Spurs Safety and Pollution Concerns

Starting tomorrow, after the break imposed from April onward, the Trucks will once again be rushing along the Gardesana Orientale.

End of the transit ban ordinance

Indeed, with the end of October, the ordinance banning heavy vehicles on the Torbole-Peschiera stretch will cease.

And with the return of the road giants, the same inconveniences will resurface, and, above all, the ongoing safety hazards will intensify.

Risks and inconveniences

Threats primarily to the safety of residents along the Gardesana, a road completely inadequate to support such traffic, not to mention the delicate environmental balance of Garda, which is unfortunately constantly threatened by the ever-present risk of pollution.

These risks have been repeatedly highlighted by many voices every time the issue arises. To no avail, given the lack of results.

Traffic and damage

Furthermore, traffic remains problematic, even if people cannot understand why, once the summer traffic subsides, they have to endure such misery in winter.

It is enough to think that for the most historical houses closest to the roadway (which must also bear all the heavy traffic towards Rovereto), each passage of an overloaded Truck, often driven at reckless speed, resembles a small earthquake.

The floors shake, and the chandeliers sway. The jewelry store Santoni stands as a good witness to these tremors.

Occasionally, when the road is reopened to large vehicles, objects displayed on shelves need to be reset, or they risk falling due to the continuous jolts.
