Three hundred fines in Milan and 232 in Rome on the first day of traffic restrictions to combat smog. This is yesterday's balance sheet in the two main Italian cities where the anti-smog measures were taken and will continue today.
In fact, today in Milan the total blockade of vehicles will continue for six hours: from 10 to 16. And tomorrow the music will repeat itself.
In Rome, on the other hand, even number plates for cars and motorcycles will stop today from 7.30 to 12.30 and from 16.30 to 20.30: the odd number plates stopped yesterday. Ticket for public transport at 1,5 euros valid for the whole day.
Thousands of checks both in Milan and in the capital and this explains the rain of fines that is pouring on offenders. You can't joke with smog.
