Saturday 25 May at the Rcf Arena Campovolo in Reggio Emilia the only Italian stage of the world tour of the Ac/Dc will bring over 100 thousand people to the city, some changes to the city’s roads are expected from Friday 24 May. In particular in the Santa Croce district in the north-east of the city and on the main access roads to the Arena. The changes, on the basis of those already carried out during the events of previous years, mainly concern parking and road traffic bans and are aimed at protecting the numerous pedestrians who will cross the northern area of Reggio between Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Among the main innovations compared to previous events, the closure of Gavassa to traffic, except for residents and those going to businesses, to protect the inhabitants of the hamlet from traffic.
Signs and road signs will be placed throughout the north-east of the city and on the arterial roads to indicate prohibitions, diversions and alternative routes. It is recommended to reach the areas surrounding the Arena and the Arena itself on foot, by bicycle to the bike collection and storage points, or by collective means of transport to the car parks and other permitted points.
Several streets near the Rcf Arena will be affected by measures to modify traffic and parking from Friday 24 May until traffic flows away at the end of the event. A part of Piazzale Europa will be closed from Thursday 23rd to allow the setting up of the “Villaggio Le Reggiane” at the same time as the red zone will be established with the pedestrianization of via dell’Aeronautica, in the stretch between via Agosti (included) and via Caduti delle Reggiane (excluded), via Montagnani Marelli will also be closed (corridor reserved for emergency vehicles)

However, residents and those going to activities will be able to access the area. All measures could be brought forward or made more restrictive if the police deem it necessary to protect the safety of pedestrians present. Furthermore, from Saturday evening until the outflow of traffic, via Gramsci will be closed to traffic (from via Bovio to via Adua).
From the night of Thursday 23 May the parking ban will come into force with removal for a portion of Piazzale Europa, while from the night of Friday 24 the parking bans will come into force in via Aeronautica, via del Partigiano, via Agosti, via Officine Meccaniche Reggiane , via Marro, via Mozart (from via Beethoven to the car park entrance), via Caduti delle Reggiane, via Vertoiba, via Saragat, via del Chionso and in the parking area in front of the Loris Malaguzzi centre.
