Road billboards to prevent accidents involving cyclists have been placed in the area by the municipality of Sassari . The aim is to raise awareness on the issue of safety: «The initiative was proposed by councilor Lucio Carta, who has acted as spokesperson for various cycling sports associations, and aims to increase the levels of safety for cyclists when traveling on extra-urban roads. It represents a further contribution to the promotion of sustainable mobility in the city of Sassari» explains the Councilor for Mobility Infrastructures, Carlo Sardara.
The signs inform motorists of the possible and frequent presence of cyclists, as well as providing directions and recommendations. Among these is that of always maintaining the right safety distance from cyclists, equal to at least 1.5 metres.
