Italian road safety concerns spark calls for better signage and pedestrian crossing repairs

Confartigianato secretary Giorgio Menichelli said the two speed‑check devices installed on the Superstrada between Corridonia and Morrovalle are only a first step toward improving safety after the June 14 crash that killed four people. He urged Anas to enhance signage with LED lighting and clearer lane markings, especially near construction zones, to reduce uncertainty for drivers.

In Ischia, Confesercenti president Giuseppe La Franca wrote to the mayor and local officials warning that faded pedestrian‑crossing stripes on Via Alfredo De Luca pose a serious risk, citing a recent near‑miss involving a woman, a stroller and a child. He called for immediate repainting of the markings and a broader review of road signage to protect pedestrians, particularly the elderly, children and tourists.
