THE SITUATION ON PARKS ROAD UNTIL MID-AUGUST
With regard to the A24 and A25 highways, the so-called “summer exodus” has peculiar characteristics related to the specificities of the territory crossed by the highways linking Lazio and Abruzzo. In particular, the section most affected by traffic flows will be the Lazio section of the A24 between the Carsoli and Tangenziale Est interchanges on the Urban Penetration Section. In particularly heavy traffic conditions, however, there could be slowdowns at immovable construction sites for earthquake safety work on the Tornimparte-L’Aquila Ovest section.
On the Carsoli – Roma Tangenziale Est section, yellow sticker days (heavy traffic) are forecast for all Saturdays in July, with peaks in the morning eastbound (toward Teramo / Pescara).
On the other hand, the days of very heavy traffic (red dot) will presumably be concentrated on Sundays in July, including westbound (toward Rome) with an extension to the entire weekend in the last days of July and early August, coinciding with the peak of office closures for the vacations. On these days of heavy traffic, in order to facilitate the flow of traffic, a stop has been imposed on heavy vehicles and trucks over 7.5 tons.
