In recent years, more and more often the Municipality of Rome, because of particulate pollution, was forced to resort to the measure of traffic to alternate plates to limit pollutant emissions from private vehicles or block non public traffic.
For example, there will be a total block in the "Fascia Verde" on 1st of next February.
Question: What is the "Fascia Verde"? :-) And the "Anello Ferroviario"? : -O
Perhaps the title of a beauty contest ecological? A romantic alternative to the padlock of the Ponte Milvio?
Neither of course, but we have interviewed hundreds of people and, although they heard, virtually none was able to define boundaries and areas of concepts such as "Fascia Verde" or "Anello Ferroviario", also many motorists have complained of having received fines judged unjust because of this lack of clarity of information.
The boundaries of the "Fascia Verde" actually, are not clearly specified in terms of road signs and this creates great difficulties for circulation in the same car also Roman citizens residents.
The City provides, also on its website, tools category "paper" and any "static".
Through the single map, the written list of the streets and the perimeter of the parking lots at the end of the exchange, is very complex for the motorist to structure an efficient route or even realize which areas you can reach by car or not.
Let it be clear that we do not want to blame the Administration, but this disinformation is a fact, easily verifiable by the Roman roads.
In our view, therefore, this confusion will undoubtedly generate a share of useless traffic, pollution and costs, both for the city and for the Private Citizen, further reducing the quality of Roman life and not maximizing the benefit to the environment.
We therefore decided to develop this app for informational purposes, (not a browser, but only a reference), in an attempt to make easily recognizable boundaries of the areas in question, so that every individual concerned can verify independently, dynamic and above with minimal effort.
Dear Romans and visitors, we hope to find it useful, consider all your valuable suggestions to improve it.
Happy New Year from equinox:-)
