Everyone can choose the response they prefer. One rule: it is forbidden to answer “both”. #CaosVoli #MatteoSalvini #TrasportiItalia (translated)

Ultimora.net reported that in Puglia, the protests of truck drivers and workers from the former Ilva had joined those of olive growers, who were protesting against the drop in olive oil prices, the increase in production costs, and competition from low-cost imports, especially from Tunisia.

In Taranto, some public transport services had been rescheduled, and delays in waste collection could occur; in the Foggia area, empty shelves had been reported in supermarkets. #Proteste #Lavoro #Puglia (translated)

Ultimora.net reported that the Council of Ministers had approved a new Traffic Code. According to reports, it would no longer be necessary to carry a paper driver's license and vehicle registration, as law enforcement would be able to verify them electronically. The site stated that there would be an indefinite ban on circulation for vehicles without insurance and that foreign vehicles present in Italy for more than 30 days would have to comply with Italian insurance regulations. For amounts not paid by foreign users, enforced collection would be provided for. Among the other news indicated by Ultimora.net were the reduction of fines and the suspension of the automatic biennial adjustment to inflation, in addition to the decrease from 90 to 45 days for notifying reports related to remote checks without immediate contestation. The age limit for professional transportation with trucks and buses would rise from 68 to 70 years, while motorcyclists would be allowed to use the emergency lane on the highway in case of accidents or significant slowdowns. Ultimora.net also reported that helmets and identification would become mandatory for powered cycles, including some bicycles used by riders, and that electric scooters would be banned from circulation when obstructing or endangering pedestrians. Finally, all municipalities would have to join the national platform for the European disabled identification badge; those that do not comply would not be able to use remote detectors to confirm violations in reserved parking and ZTL areas. #CodicedellaStrada #SicurezzaStradale #NuoveNorme (translated)
