Traffic at a standstill and the city in chaos: this is how the Cagliari of the construction sites faces its first Christmas shopping test

Even in Cagliari we are starting to feel the festive air. It's a shame, however, that today reaching the city center - for the usual Christmas shopping or for a tour of the shopping streets - is practically a challenge , thanks to abnormally congested traffic and the consequent long lines of cars queuing.

The nightmare does not give discounts to anyone , with slowdowns in Largo Carlo Felice, Via Roma on the sea side and in the surrounding streets. The hope of many motorists is to find a space in the car parks of the train station, in front of Piazza Matteotti. So all the cars pour into Via Sassari, then remaining blocked: the car park is full, a plan B is needed. And in the meantime the traffic jam increases.

To make the already critical situation worse, there are numerous construction sites scattered throughout the city. And chaos grows between the closed roads and the new traffic directions: the inconveniences reach as far as Via Mameli (where the situation is less critical), passing through Viale Regina Margherita, right up to the Bastione di Saint Remy.
