Italian towns test one‑way traffic schemes

Grottaferrata introduced a temporary one‑way system on via della Pedica, allowing traffic only toward Squarciarelli for a 120‑day trial. The measure is part of a broader road‑renovation plan led by Mayor Mirko Di Bernardo and has sparked criticism from residents who say it may worsen congestion ahead of the school year.

In the Orvieto district of Sferracavallo, the municipal council approved a new one‑way configuration affecting via Trebbia, via Adda, via Sesia and via Ticino. The change, scheduled to take effect after signage updates on 20 July, aims to improve safety and traffic flow in a densely populated residential area, and is presented as part of a larger municipal mobility plan.
