Prato, May 28, 2015 – The trial period is almost finished. The electronic gates will come into operation next Wednesday and will remain active 24 hours on 24. The area guarded by cameras placed in Piazza S. Antonino, via Ricasoli, via Guizzelmi, via Bartolini, via San Jacopo and via deiTintori will be equivalent to about a fifth of inner city. From June 3 to 3 July, as announced, the fines will be made by municipal police officers who personally supervise access, stationed in turn shortly after each passage.
“The citizens from Wednesday will begin considering the gaps on. The period of information and explanation is finished: agents presidieranno the gates only to raise any fines – says Andrea Pasquinelli, commander of the municipal police – This extra month is used to calibrate the cameras in an appropriate manner of the openings, to avoid mistakes in the identification of vehicles. Violators will come home anyway related penalties. “
The patrols, in fact, they will control all access, both day and night, but will not stop the car in the middle of the roadway to avoid creating traffic problems . The agents will be limited to write down the license plate, then start the fines for those who will not be in possession of a permit. There is talk of sanctions from € 81, with a possible 30% discount if payment will be made within five days of notification. From half night of Friday, July 3, however, will definitely feature in the cameras and the penalties will then be produced directly from the system and automatically sent to the offenders, who receive notification at home after about a month and will be able to view the freeze-frame of their vehicle on a dedicated web portal.
The city administration and the local police are working to design a special software, aimed at identifying those who tirelessly repeat offenses within a few days or a few hours, so that they can be informed in advance that the total amount of penalties reaches disproportionate numbers. “The area covered by the gates is the central, adjacent to the monuments, the gates so they have the objective of increasing the fines, but to protect the monumental area of the old town – says Councillor for Mobility common, Filippo Alessi – honestly what worries me most is being Tintori, where in recent months we have found the highest transit of vehicles not fitted with permission (along Via S. Jacopo, ed). I must say that these gaps do is insert the element of sanction certain: the regulations on access and parking will not change much compared to the ordinances already in place for at least 15 years. “
