San Vincenzo
PARADISE cyclists
Saturday, August 30, 15,30. A motorist is distracted for a moment and touch a stray wheel curbs bordering the bike path. Now happens the mayhem: broken wheel, crush of fifty feet, curbs shown here and the. It is not the first time it happens. By sheer miracle, this time, it avoided a frontal with other cars and not killed any cyclist. Until last
luck? How much longer must we wait for the City complete the curb, making continuous and staring at the asphalt? in the meantime we continue to make their fingers crossed.
Trip reports of a cyclist depressed.
Before the bike trail coming from Baratti meet hundreds of cars parked on the right, occupying the road from twenty centimeters to a meter, creating serious hazards for cyclists and motorcyclists, who are forced to drift toward the center the street with the risk of being overwhelmed by cars that come in from behind.
In many years has never seen the Municipal Police of San Vincenzo you a ticket to these criminal drivers. We see that there are more directives to that effect. The only fines are subject to two or three cars parked near the graft ban in the Lake Street
Above you can see a parked car with care and respect for others. The car is parked so on August 23 for several hours, without being fined by the number of patrols passed through brigade is moving in that car. The car stuck in the roadway of about 1.50 meters, but the stretch from Lake Street to Rimigliano 1, there were other (about twenty) that extend at least one meter. It asks too urging the Municipal Police for carrying out the forced removal of the car who keeps a dangerous behavior so blatantly? What does the Highway Code and, above all, it provides for the effective administration and good sense?
entrance 1 Rimigliano finally starts the cycle lane and turn down the street, across the road, cyclists have a brand new step pedestrianized. Too bad that the transition is very visible until the last fifty yards, it is not reported in any way by signals or vertical rows of notice. So the cars traveling on 100 kmh ( so there are no checks) totally ignore us and the pedestrian venturing, trusting in the above, would make a bad end. But it is a regular walkway isolated and unexpected in a wooded area, would remain without a warning or a warning? 
Where to park their vehicles at the loaves of concrete, not asphalt laid, are constantly moved, often in a much more blatant and dangerous than documented by photos. 
Under Riva Etruscan signaling a vertical pole protruding more than half a meter inside the track cilabile, waiting for a cicilsta knocking against 
dell'Euroturist Under a lighting pole protruding more than a meter in the bike path, without warnings and protections. A truly deadly trap. We hope that the City put a security before someone gets hurt. 
Dall'Euroturist to ditch the Jail, about a third of the width of the track is unusable for the trapdoors drowned in the asphalt of about 10 cm. Those who fall into it with the bike, it splits in two. And to think that it would take thirty to raise manholes to fix the problem, with modest expenditure. 
At the end of the runway a low round with a sign Freccione awaits the faces of the cyclists, crossing someone else, are forced to stay on the right. Even here you just raise the cartel about one meter to eliminate the danger. a welcome improvement that would also be easy to paint a bike path across the line too thin and dashed centerline (and maybe some freccettina directional) to alert cyclists and runners to less gifted intellectually, to occupy the lane right.
I understand that it seems impossible, but many users of the bike path take the left inexplicably, or if in a group, occupy much the entire width of the track, making it difficult and dangerous, that is overtaking the intersections with those coming in the opposite direction.
Since you spent 100 to make the track you could spend or even a 2 to make it totally useful and safe.
