Black Friday, 26 million on the road this weekend.

During the second major summer holiday period in Italy, over 26 million people are expected to travel between Saturday and Sunday, leading to heavy traffic on roads and highways managed by Anas. To manage the increased flow, Anas has enhanced monitoring of the national road network and suspended or closed 1,175 construction sites until September 7th, which accounts for 83% of active sites. Anas CEO Claudio Andrea Gemme emphasized the importance of safety during these busy times, urging drivers to plan their trips carefully, check traffic conditions, vehicle readiness, and weather before traveling. Measures include speed limits, safe distances, avoiding distractions while driving, and taking regular breaks on longer journeys. Approximately 2,500 technicians and staff will be deployed to handle traffic management, alongside operators from regional control rooms and the National Situation Room. Heavy vehicles will be banned from certain roads at specific times to ease congestion.
