the provisions for May 26th – AltamuraLive.it

The municipal administration, with council resolution no. 51, approved a policy act with which it announced two days “Sunday without a car”. The first day will be held Sunday 26 May, from 9:00 to 14:00. In this regard, the Local Police Command has established an ordinance that prohibits vehicular traffic in the historic center and in other central streets in the following areas: Piazza Zanardelli, from the corner of Via XX Settembre to the corner of Viale Martiri, Via Ottavio Serena, Via XX Settembre, Via Garibaldi from Piazza Resistenza to Via V. Lavigna, Corso Umberto I from Piazza S. Lorenzo to Piazza della Resistenza, Piazza Mercadante, Viale Martiri from the corner of via O. Serena to via Manzoni.

It is the Administration’s intention to raise citizens’ awareness of the protection of public health by preventing the increase in levels of pollutants in the air originating from urban traffic. This prevention must be implemented as a priority, urging the greatest possible number of citizens to voluntarily give up the use of polluting vehicles in favor of sustainable urban mobility.

The suspension of circulation will affect all motor vehicles for private use, with the exclusion of electric vehicles. Public transport, emergency vehicles and those necessary to ensure the smooth carrying out of essential activities are authorized to circulate.
