On 1 and 2 March it rained a lot in the Marche. TV newscasts and newspapers give "the usual" news of a country that pays little attention to good governance of the territory. Thus, landslides and mudslides in the hills are followed, in a perverse game of cause and effect, floods and flood plain. And then, disaster roads, collapsed bridges, houses and factories in the mud, agriculture KO and tragedy: three dead.
The Governor of the Marches, Outlets, ", a preliminary estimate of the damage and write to Berlusconi , says the Corriere Adriatico yesterday (see photo). "The first estimate of the damages reported by municipalities, provinces and economic categories" brings about of € 480 million, not counting those in agriculture (which were many).
I think, perhaps, among the recommendations of Commons will be there to Mergo, whose mayor, Thursday, March 3, issued the Order No. 1 providing " for all categories of vehicles not walk in the following roads: via Forchiusa, via Montirone, via Colli, Castellaro away, away and away Panocchia SM of the Stars ", instructing the City Engineering Department " the affixing of its signs. "
Sunday (ie 3 days after) a bit 'for the sun, a bit' out of curiosity aroused by the catastrophic picture painted Ordinance of the Mayor, I took a walk. There have been surprises.
I walk Hills Road, which according to the ordinance would be " road blocked by landslide in the mountain road cordoned off and closed to vehicular traffic" until the end (at number 14) and see that is not blocked by landslides upstream is not fenced and not is closed to vehicular traffic. It lies some modest movement of land and an old franetta (already reported in January in the comic of the municipal administration) that occupies no more than a few meters middle of the road: a bulldozer to remove a few minutes. An old "baskets" on the left side of resisted very well. The stretch that runs alongside the camper area and sports facilities, as far as Via C. Baptists, the regular thoroughfare. Shows no signs of landslide, the hurdle, the ban on driving, as I think it would be expected according to the order of the mayor! In
Castellaro away, according to the order I would have to find "several landslides upstream of the road cordoned off and closed ground on both sides" .
In fact, by logging in via C. Battisti is not a shadow of barriers, or of signs ban on driving, or notices of road stopped. The same situation going upstream, Via S. Maria delle Stelle. Via
Castellaro, however, is closed to transit for a short term (approximately 150 m), barriers on both sides, with signal bans union and a copy of the Ordinance, but, despite carrying the signs of recent landslides now removed, will be cleaned out (a sign showing the speed limit to 30 km / h is odd, since it is preceded by a banning of movement).
Via Santa Maria delle Stelle is defined by, "road closed "for" landslides ".
In fact, the entrance to the city section is totally open, there are no barriers, nor bans, or anything else. The road, with a few small landslide, it is perfectly feasible to walk (but also in the car), obviously taking into account the characteristic of country road. The provincial tract, which leads to Santa Marciana Trivium, has a sign indicating the prohibition of movement and announces the break after 2 Km
For via Panocchia Ordinance speaks of "landslides of land in the valley, established the alternating one-way. "
Instead, as in earlier cases, not bear any indication of the driving ban is not fenced, not present any "alternating one-way" . The road, which still shows 2-3 points in the signs of bad weather, can be covered up to Corinaldesi House (one of the famous "dinners"), with reasonable care.
In truth there is a point, beyond the farm, which requires attention because the right side of the road has crumbled and you use a portion of the road remained intact. Everything is assisted by suitably road signs indicating the speed limit to 30 km / h, work in progress and narrowing of the carriageway. The "alternating one-way", which is discussed in the order of the mayor, does not exist.
