The ban on accessing the “fashion quadrilateral” starts in Milan. Electrical vehicles owners are also affected. Professionals will have derogations for work, but limited. Meanwhile, public transport accumulate delays
Last week the mayor of Milan Giuseppe Sala I had The Milanese warned by declaring that there are still too many cars around the city. That there are many is true, especially those of those who, from Monday to Friday, come to Milan to work. But it is also the fortune of a city with less and less shops, companies and citizens. And therefore with less money, but also with the cost of duplicate ATM tickets in ten years.
The invitation, indeed, now almost the obligation, to take public transport is evident, pity that the races are missing and that, especially on Saturdays and Sundays, during bridges and holidays, the reduced timetable trigger. So at the wired stops the display indicates higher waiting times from ten to twenty minutes, as if the Milanese time on the weekend was worth less. Where there is no digital screen to say how much time you need, either you have the ATM app on the mobile phone, and then you can check how much there is to wait, or you have to have faith. If you then have the misfortune of living in the neighborhoods without a subway, open heaven. The citizens of Vigentino know this well, who without the 24th tram, a “diligence” in force from the EXPO of 1910, must jump between bus 34 and 99 pending the path of metro 6 “la rose” to be defined, while the tramway line is extended to the south to the tumor institute and, for a few months, merged to line 27, reaching over 50 stops. And the winter Olympics with the Olympic village that will be filled with thousands of people, all on the same tram, are coming.
Yesterday, however, Milan touched another peak in immobility: the Ztl of the “Fashion Quadrilatera” started. Apart from the fact that it would be the distinguished neighborhood to the historic one of the Torriani, the Meneghina junta has succeeded in the unique company in the world of having created a ZTL within the ZTL Area C which is in turn within the ZTL Area B. The phenomenal thing is that the three areas have different access and derogations rules from each other. There are “ecological” and other more commercial rules; There is always a maximum number of access. In practice, a plumber who should work in the Ztl inside the Ztl Ztl (only to write it I laugh, pardon, cry), must be so skilled as to create cards to summarize them and choose its customers well. Who will be told that to change a tap it is not worth playing free access by the professional.
F dulcis in Fundo, from today who says it to the owners of electric cars who thought they “go everywhere” who cannot access it? The Milanese are tired of absurd limitations, from that of the Euro 5b diesel in area B (very few cars) to this new limitation. As if those who go shopping in Montenapoleone for tens of thousands of euros were willing to get there with the subway, where you have to sew the wallet in the lining so as not to steal it, or as if the taxis did not deal with space.
The problem of yet another limited traffic area is also that it is in force every day, 24 hours a day, including the area between Corso Monforte, via Manzoni, via Senato, via San Damiano and via Cino del Duca and that this also excludes electrical cars. The fine for offenders will be 83 euros and for the early sixty days to raise them will be the local police officers and not the cameras automatically. After this period, the minutes will be from 95 euros and will arrive at the home of the owners of the vehicles as it happens for the infringements of the rules of Area B and Area C. To use the derogations, it will always be necessary to register on the portal – as long as they do not eliminate as that of Area B last year – and the residents can be done, the owners of the garage and parking spaces and whoever wants to resort to the garages present inside the area. The exemptions are reserved for the means of service of companies that deal with maintenance (condominium and civil systems in general, elevators, etc.), to professionals such as technicians and craftsmen who will use 50 entrances per year (absurd, practically a limitation to business work), and obviously to rescue vehicles. Graziati, but only until May 2026, the two -wheeled users. The vehicles carrying people with disabilities must be recorded as such with the appropriate procedure, but it is possible to practice at the same time as that of the release of the pass in European format.
It is evidently no longer a fight against pollutiondeluding that the air stops on the border of the Ztl, but of a war in the presence of the cars made creating obstacles. Starting with the triple online portal for registration on which to spend your time, create passwords and check the number of access still available. A life of hell for those who pay stamp duty, insurance and revision, exercising the right to move as they like in his city.
