But now there is something unbearable in all these crosses on the Sardinian roads. Too many lives of the very young have stopped forever. Too many to continue finding individual blame. "There is a huge collective work to do on safety," mayors and experts agree. Work on the mobility system, through which passes that "dead or alive" that is now the Russian roulette of getting into a car in Sardinia.
First appeal
Daniela Falconi, mayor of Fonni, woke up one day in October with four crosses planted in her town hall. The eldest was twenty-two, the youngest seventeen. "We can't leave our lives in the hands of the kids alone. They will continue to go out," says the mayor. "They will continue to be afraid of nothing when they drive. We certainly need to teach more and better the value of traveling safely. But with so much public money being wasted, we need to invest in roads. Because there are tragedies that can be avoided even just by changing the routes."
The mayor of Cagliari
Massimo Zedda is already at work. Because in addition to Beatrice, Guan was also hit in front of the school and just a few months earlier, the asphalt of Viale Marconi erased the smiles of Najibe, Alessandro, Simone and Gorgia. "We are taking action on various fronts. Urgent safety measures are needed, with narrowing of the lanes, raised pedestrian crossings and additional measures to protect pedestrians."
