22 August 2020Until tomorrow on the Italian roads that follow the South-North route there will be a red sticker . With this weekend almost three out of four Italians (73%) who have chosen to go on holiday in summer 2020 are traveling and are now concluding their summer holidays, to which are added those who are leaving for the end of August and the beginning of September.

Intense traffic until tomorrow evening on the three main routes: the one from south to north on the A1, the one in the same direction on the Adriatic coast and the one (in Y) that brings vacationers' cars from Tuscany and Liguria to Milan and the other cities of the Po Valley.

Several difficult situations occurred today on Italian roads. An accident at dawn, with the overturning of a lorry for the transport of organic waste, caused intense slowdowns and queues affecting the A1 between Caserta and Capua , where - after the closure of the carriageway with mandatory exit in Caserta north and return to Capua towards Rome - 10 km of vehicles queued up .

In the afternoon heavy traffic was recorded on the A1, with 9 km of queues at sections between Terre di Canossa-Campegine and Junction A1 / A15 towards Milan due to roadworks, with a travel time of 50 minutes; always on the A1 queues at times between Firenze Impruneta and Junction A1-Variante for intense traffic, towards Milan, and queues at times for 5 km between Ponzano Romano and Attigliano for intense traffic, always towards the north; still queues at times on the A1 between Caserta north and Caianello towards Rome due to very intense traffic and a journey time of 50 minutes.

On the A30 queue of 2 km to enter the A1 and 1 km at the Salerno barrier in the direction of Rome; on the A12 there are queues at times due to heavy traffic in the stretch between the connection with the A11 Florence-Pisa Nord and the connection with the A15, towards Genoa; on the A14 slowdowns with queues at times between Poggio Imperiale and Porto Sant'Elpidio and between Faenza and Castel San Pietro towards Bologna; on the A16 there was a 4 km queue between Lacedonia and Grottaminarda towards Naples due to carriageway reduction; on the A22 slowdowns with queues at times between Chiusa and Affi towards the south, with a queue of 6 km for the connection with the A1 at Carpi, while towards the north, slowdowns with queues at times between Rovereto and Trento.

At the port of Messina there are up to three hours of waiting for boarding to Villa San Giovanni. On the road network managed by ANAS, traffic is intense and regular. Slowdowns with queues at times were recorded on the SS51 at the height of the junction with the SS13 towards the south and on the SS16 in Puglia towards the north.

At 16.00 the restrictions on the circulation of commercial vehicles with a total mass with full load exceeding 7.5 t ceased and will come back into effect tomorrow morning, Sunday 23 August, from 7.00 to 22.00. These same times will also cover the following weekend, that of 29 and 30 August which is considered by the traffic forecasts of Autostrade per l'Italia to be less demanding , with yellow stickers on Friday afternoon and on Saturday and Sunday. Only one 'heavy traffic' warning (yellow) for the counter-exodus in September on the afternoon of Sunday 6.
