Limited Traffic Zones in the Municipality of Fasano

Technical support for the definition and regulation of Limited Traffic Zones in the Municipality of Fasano (BR)

Fasano is a municipality in Puglia over 38,000 inhabitants, the second most populous in the province of Brindisi after the provincial capital. In addition to the urban centre, there are 10 other hamlets distributed between the Adriatic coast and the hilly promontory of the Murgia dei Trulli with the Selva di Fasano at over 400 m above sea level.

The municipal administration has approved the Urban Sustainable Mobility Plan in 2023. Among the measures identified include measures to strengthen controls and progressive extension of the municipal Limited Traffic Zones (ZTL) and Pedestrian Areas (PA) municipal pedestrian areas.

TRT has been entrusted with the elaboration of the implementation scheme of the LTZs. The study provides:

• the perimeter of the areas subject to regulation (LTZ and AP) with the identification of access and egress points and routes of “repentance’;
• the introduction of an electronic electronic access control system in the already existing LTZs in the historic centre of Fasano and the marinas of Savelletri and Torre Canne;
• the drafting of the Municipal Regulation for access, circulation and parking in areas subject to vehicular access restrictions;
• the analysis of solutions for the management of access permits for the different categories of vehicles/users.

Following preliminary analyses and field inspections, TRT structured and shared with the Administration the alternative schemes for regulating vehicular access, indicating: perimeter, positioning of gates, warning and gate signage, access control devices and alternative routes for restricted vehicles.

The proposal also includes supporting measures such as buffer parking, proximity parking, shuttle service routes.
