Traffic in Cagliari is in snail's pace, with cars traveling at a snail's pace: it takes an hour and a half to travel four kilometers.
The mayor of Capoterra calls the Labor Councilor: "Smart working immediately for employees." And he calls for distance learning for commuting students.WhatsApp Video 2026-01-22 at 11.37.04.mp4
An hour and a half to travel four kilometers of road, the cars lined up in the traffic jam of the Macchiareddu consortium road which, in the direction of Cagliari, merges with the 130.
At the Elmas traffic lights, the traffic jam of cars, trucks, buses, vans, and ambulances began arriving from the Uta roundabout (therefore from the Campidano villages), from the SP 2 from Sulcis Iglesiente, and, indeed, from the Macchiareddu consortium, where traffic from Capoterra (the road to Cagliari is closed here), Pula, and all the villages in one of the most populous areas of the island converged.
Capoterra Mayor Beniamino Garau is furious: "We're in Phase B of the emergency. It's intolerable that, for the sake of just a few sections of road that need repair between the 195 and the coastal road, thousands of workers, students, truck drivers, and residents traveling to Cagliari and Monserrato for visits and treatment, must endure yet another cyclone of blocked traffic."
This morning he asked the provincial school management and all the mayors of the metropolitan city to allow distance learning for the students of Capoterra, Sarroch, Villa San Pietro, Pula and Domus de Maria
He also called Labor Councilor Desirè Manca . "I told her it's necessary to raise awareness among companies about enabling smart working for employees who can work on computers. This would ease traffic congestion, at least to the extent possible." It's impossible to imagine this lasting until January 30th.
