In late August 2026, residents and community groups in Alghero and Gela raised alarms regarding inadequate road infrastructure and safety risks. In Alghero, concerns focused on a dangerous intersection at via De Gasperi and via Berlinguer, where overgrown vegetation has caused poor visibility for motorists and pedestrians. Meanwhile, the Area 5 Committee in Gela demanded the restoration of road signage in the Caposoprano, Piano Notaro, and Fondo Iozza areas to protect citizens near schools and hospitals.

By early September, safety demands in Alghero intensified as local councilors specifically targeted Via Barraccu. They reported that the absence of sidewalks forces pedestrians, including students from the Enrico Fermi Scientific High School, to walk in the roadway alongside vehicles. Councilors have called for the immediate installation of a protected pedestrian lane to mitigate these risks.
