The knocked-down signs incident of November 2026
Between the evening of Friday 6 November 2026 and Monday 9 November 2026, three road signs are knocked down by as many motor vehicles in the Grugliasco area: at the roundabout between corso King and corso Cervi, on viale Radich near the roundabout with corso Torino, and on via Rieti, at the junction with strada della Pronda [1][2].
Bianco reports the three incidents in a Facebook post, accompanied by photographs of the damage, noting that the signs were still in place on the evening of Friday 6 November [1][2]. In the post, the councillor stresses the economic consequences of these incidents for the community, explaining that municipal technicians are forced to intervene repeatedly to restore damaged signage, taking time and resources away from other work, including the maintenance of schools and parks [1][2].
In the post, Bianco invites anyone who does not feel confident behind the wheel to get around by bicycle instead: «If you already know that driving isn't your strong point, or if haste and impatience take over, do yourself and the municipal budget a favour: ride a bicycle!» [1][2]. The councillor closes the message with a call to take care of the city: «Take care of our city. It belongs to all of us» [1][2].
