Naples, fear in Via Arenaccia: two elderly women hit on a pedestrian crossing.

Last night, two elderly women were hit while crossing Via Arenaccia in Naples, a street already known for its dangers. Councilor Enrico Cella called for urgent action to ensure pedestrian safety in a busy area.

Naples – More bloodshed on the streets of Naples. Yesterday evening, two elderly women were hit by a car while crossing Via Arenaccia.

The accident occurred right on a pedestrian crossing, confirming the danger of a road that has already been in the news several times.

Emergency services and the traffic jam. Passersby immediately raised the alarm, but the arrival of the two 118 ambulances was delayed by heavy traffic in the area. Once on site, paramedics administered first aid to the victims before rushing them to the hospital. Their conditions are currently being assessed.

The complaint: "It's a cursed road" Enrico Cella, councilor of the IV Municipality and resident of the neighborhood, who has long been fighting for the safety of the area, harshly addressed the matter.

"This isn't the first time this 'cursed road' has been the scene of accidents, even fatal ones," Cella denounces. "Without immediate traffic improvements, the risk of further tragedies remains extremely high."

The critical issues highlighted According to the councilor, there are three critical points that make Via Arenaccia a trap for pedestrians and motorists:

Poor lighting: Many sections of the road remain dark, especially where commercial lights are missing. The voltage of streetlights needs to be increased.

Invisible Signage: Pedestrian crossings and road markings are now worn and difficult for drivers to spot.

Traffic light chaos: The recent activation of traffic lights in Piazza Poderico would not have solved the problems, but rather created new traffic jams, pollution, and dangers.

Councilor Cella concluded with a formal request to the Traffic and Roads Office of the City of Naples: "We must act quickly. Citizen safety can no longer wait for bureaucratic delays."
