Matera urban management and public safety concerns
Overview
Residents in Matera have raised concerns regarding urban management and public safety. Initial protests focused on a one-way traffic ordinance on via Taranto, which residents claim was implemented as a temporary experiment but was later formalized. A local committee reports that the change forces detours of nearly two kilometers for approximately 400 families, increasing fuel consumption, emissions, and congestion on adjacent streets like via Mattei. Additionally, the new traffic flow has reportedly complicated waste collection services.
Further complaints have emerged regarding the maintenance of public greenery. Citizens have notified the municipal administration of urban decay, specifically noting that overgrown oleander bushes on the Via Trabaci median obstruct motorists' views and make it difficult to see pedestrians at crossings. Similar issues with unmaintained vegetation have been reported on Via dei Dauni, leading to broader concerns regarding road safety.
