Cyclist fined for speeding with laser sighting

Exactly one year ago he was in the news for the decision to ban dogs from passing through the town center for hygiene reasons, and now Primo De Giuli, mayor of Motta Visconti, a town in the hinterland of Milan, is back in the news after the local police fined some cyclists for speeding who were pedaling along the towpath that runs alongside the Naviglio di Bereguardo. The road is used by canal maintenance vehicles, but is open to pedestrians and cyclists who, however, cannot exceed 10 kilometers per hour. Last Sunday, the police measured the speed of the cyclists with laser scanners and the fines arrived, one issued to a cyclist who was going 32 kilometers per hour at 8:39. Some have complained about this way of “making money”, but the mayor explained to MilanoTodaythat checks have been carried out to ensure the safety of families walking on the Alzaia and that they will be repeated.
