Perugia, after a collection of signatures, work begins on the road between Castel del Piano and Castiglione della Valle. «But the plague of high speed remains»

PERUGIA – One year after a signature collection, there is a turning point in the appeals made by citizens for the safety of the road that connects Castel del Piano, Bagnaia, Pilonico Materno and Castiglione della Valle. In fact, various asphalting and signage interventions were carried out, both vertical and horizontal. A novelty welcomed with great satisfaction by the Pievaiola Committee, which with its spokesperson Augusto Peltristo ensures that it still keeps its guard up on road safety. In the meantime, however, there is enthusiasm for the results obtained. A positive signal, it should be remembered, had already arrived in recent months when a lighting pole was installed at the San Biagio crossroads, between Pilonico Materno and Bagnaia. Now there is “another step towards road safety on the Provincial 321″, underlines Peltristo who in recent days has taken stock of the road maintenance interventions carried out by the Province of Perugia on the road which has been under the spotlight for a long time thanks to the mobilization of citizens. «A little over a year ago the residents of the road in question requested the intervention of the Piegaro Civica and the Pievaiola Committee, through a collection of signatures, to report some problems, such as the poor general lighting, especially near the San Biagio crossroads , the total or partial absence of horizontal signs”. After the new pole installed in December at a very dangerous crossroads, the Province «requested by us several times and with whom we carried out joint inspections, intervened with important maintenance works on the road surface, on horizontal and vertical signs». «We are proud – concludes Peltristo – because once again the citizens have trusted us to report their problems and once again we have achieved the objective, defending and protecting the public interest, it is clear that we will continue to urge the institutions to increase bitumen and road markings and demanding greater control on this road”. Yes, because the problems are certainly not over. There is the hub of the high speed with which some motorists travel the stretch. A risk also for those who live along the axis, to the point that some people report difficulties even in leaving the house. Speed ​​regulation thus becomes the new front on which citizens are aiming for the complete safety of an always particularly busy road.
