Naples shore, moped chaos: wild stop even in front of the gym

A frantic pause and sidewalks full of scooters and motorcycles making it almost impossible for pedestrians to pass. It is a state of innocence that, in Naples, often rhymes with the nightlife and the frenetic rhythms of the night but, this time, the barbarity of the illegal stop is placed in front of the Active Virgin, in Saint Lucia. The attack on cars parked in the second row and, above all, on two-wheelers arranged with chains and padlocks on the pavements is repeated every day at the entrance of the center luxury fitness on Via Nazario Sauro, facing the Neapolitan seafront.

The discomfort

Pedestrians who pass by that pavement have to do the gymkhana among the parked motorbikes and patrons of the exclusive sports club which concentrates an audience of sions of the wealthy Naples, professionals from the world of law and medicine as well as a large number of people from the world of entertainment. But among the users of the five-star gym, authors break wild or, at least, a good part of them as they confirm. raid police officers municipal authorities who are always involved in that area.

The complaint

It must be said that the area around the Virgin is well served in terms of parking capacity as there are dedicated lines for cars and private parking but, for motorbikes, the number of spaces available has gone down when some nearby urban areas Sauro was subject to restoration work. The most serious complaint against illegal parking outside the Virgin gym was from MP Francesco Emilio Borrelli which pointed the finger at “part of the customers of the famous gym who, especially in the evening, usually park their vehicles on the pavement without respect for pedestrians, the disabled and civil life”.

The blitz

Equally constant and daily are the raids of the municipal police who, punctually, impose fines and clean the pavement but despite this the wonder of a frantic stop he comes back every evening.

“Despite various interventions by the municipal police and the presence of free parking for scooters, the phenomenon has not stopped» he insists Borrelli who says “in an investigation against illegal parking I found a good part of the road occupied by the vehicles of the users of the gym and I asked the intervention of the municipal police but the violators, giving in the young scions of the rich districts, instead of apologizing, asked the parents to justify and support their inappropriate and very serious behavior.”
