"A directive, made in the public, collective and national interest that comes from the ministry can and must be applied because otherwise the highway code will intervene where the mayor does not deem it necessary to intervene".
The deputy prime minister and minister of Infrastructure and Transport, Matteo Salvini, said this at Question Time in the Senate, regarding the 30km/h limit.
"The directive I signed is clear: yes to limits reduced to 30km per hour on individual roads or sections of roads where the mayors deem the conditions to be appropriate, but no to the ideological extension on entire sections of roads" and "any exception must be justified", he recalled.
