Naples has put in place temporary traffic rules for the cemetery area of Poggioreale on the days around the commemoration of the dead. The measures affect parking and vehicle circulation near the cemetery entrances, with one-way streets, turning requirements, and exemptions for authorized vehicles.

When the restrictions apply

According to the report in Il Mattino citing the municipal traffic order, the restrictions apply on 24–25 October, 31 October–1 November, and Monday 2 November 2026, from 7:00 to 13:30, and in any case until traffic needs end.

Visitors planning to go to Poggioreale on those mornings should therefore allow for altered routes and parking limits during those hours. The stated end time is 13:30, but the order allows the measures to continue until no longer needed, so the exact reopening of normal circulation may vary by day.

Which streets are affected

The documented restrictions concern:

  • Largo Santa Maria del Pianto
  • Via Santa Maria del Pianto
  • Via del Riposo
  • A section of Via Nuova Poggioreale

Additional documented measures concern Via De Giaxa, vehicles coming from Via Filippo Maria Briganti, vehicles heading toward Largo Santa Maria del Pianto, and the entrance from Via Masoni to the access ramp of the Perimetrale di Scampia, which is listed as closed under the plan.

One-way streets and turning rules

The plan includes one-way sections in Via Santa Maria del Pianto, Via del Riposo, and Viale Umberto Maddalena.

It also includes restrictions in Via De Giaxa, mandatory turns for vehicles arriving from Via Filippo Maria Briganti, and limits for vehicles directed toward Largo Santa Maria del Pianto. Drivers should follow on-street signs and police directions on the day, especially where the normal route is changed by a temporary one-way or a required turn.

Exemptions and public transport arrangements

The research reports exemptions for:

  • Urban buses
  • Taxis and licensed hire cars
  • Emergency vehicles
  • Police forces
  • Civil Protection vehicles
  • Funeral vehicles
  • Vehicles displaying a disability badge

The plan also provides a U-turn lane reserved for ANM vehicles and areas dedicated to public-transport parking in Via Santa Maria del Pianto.

In practical terms, this means scheduled bus services, taxis, emergency and service vehicles, funeral cars, and authorized disability-badge holders are treated differently from general traffic under the temporary order. Other drivers should expect parking bans and circulation limits near the affected cemetery streets.

Practical suggestions based on the documented plan

  • Travel in the affected area only during 7:00–13:30 on the listed dates if necessary, and check signs for parking bans in Largo Santa Maria del Pianto, Via Santa Maria del Pianto, Via del Riposo, and the affected part of Via Nuova Poggioreale.
  • If arriving by car from Via Filippo Maria Briganti or heading toward Largo Santa Maria del Pianto, expect a required turn or a restricted movement and follow the temporary direction.
  • Avoid the closed Via Masoni entrance to the Perimetrale di Scampia access ramp and choose another route.
  • People eligible for an exemption, including disability-badge holders, should carry and display the relevant badge; taxi and hire-car users may find these options useful because they are listed among the exempted categories.

What remains unverified

The available evidence reports the 2026 dates and hours through Il Mattino's account of the municipal order; the full municipal order itself was not directly acquired. An independent local account describes the same type of traffic plan for a previous commemoration, including parking bans, one-way streets, circulation limits, exemptions, and public-transport arrangements, but it does not independently confirm that every 2026 detail is identical. Real-time traffic conditions and any extension beyond the stated hours have not been verified.
