The local police command also announces that along some roads there will be a parking ban with forced removal on Sunday morning, starting from 6 am and until the end of the demonstration.
The streets affected by the parking ban are:
- via M. Mazzei;
- via A. Gramsci;
- via A. Grandi;
- via G. De Petra;
- via G. Patroni;
- v.le Michelangelo (central carriageway);
- via A. Guglielmi (roadway adjacent to the “Campi Diomedei” park from viale Michelangelo to viale Fortore).
The roads affected by the route will be temporarily closed to traffic, which will be diverted onto neighboring roads. Approximately, the closure is scheduled from 08.30 am to 11.00 am and in any case until the end of the event.
Transits and crossings motivated by situations of necessity will be permitted, to the extent possible, without compromising the safety conditions of the event.
The roads will, however, gradually be reopened to traffic once all participants have passed through. Due to the progressive distancing of the runners, some additional discomfort could be felt in Ordona Sud; Flower Park; Yellow Spot; V. De Petra; viale I Maggio; viale Michelangelo; via Guglielmi; viale Fortore and via Galliani.
“As has already been done for other similar events, with the local police command we are working to ensure maximum safety for participants and the least possible inconvenience to fellow citizens – says the Sports Councilor, Domenico Di Molfetta. We hope that next Sunday will also be a beautiful and participatory day of sport, demonstrating Foggia’s desire to become an attractive and hospitable city for everyone”.
