Lauria junction: enhancing safety and connectivity with SIDEis LED lighting
The new Lauria junction represents a significant step forward in improving road infrastructure in the Basilicata region. Officially inaugurated in February 2025, this key link connects the SS 653 Sinnica with the A2 Mediterranean Highway, streamlining traffic flow and enhancing accessibility for both local residents and travelers.
The challenge: ensuring visibility and safety in a critical roadway
The Lauria junction plays a strategic role in regional mobility, offering a direct and safer alternative to existing routes. However, given the area’s geographical complexity and traffic intensity, ensuring optimal visibility was a primary challenge. The project required an efficient, durable, and sustainable lighting solution capable of improving safety conditions for drivers, especially in low-light and adverse weather conditions.
The SIDEis solution: advanced LED technology for maximum performance
To meet these needs, SIDEis supplied and installed a state-of-the-art LED lighting system, designed to:
- Ensure uniform illumination across the entire junction, eliminating dark spots and enhancing visibility.
- Reduce energy consumption with high-efficiency LED fixtures, contributing to a lower environmental impact.
- Minimize light pollution, aligning with modern sustainability and safety standards.
- Improve driver safety, ensuring a well-lit roadway that enhances visibility at key merging points and turns.
Collaboration and execution
The project was developed in close collaboration with local authorities, engineering teams, and road safety experts. SIDEis worked meticulously to integrate the lighting system seamlessly with the surrounding infrastructure, ensuring compliance with UNI EN 13201 standards for road illumination.
The successful completion of the Lauria junction marks another milestone in SIDEis’ commitment to delivering cutting-edge lighting solutions that prioritize safety, efficiency, and environmental responsibility.
A brighter, safer future for road infrastructure
With this intervention, SIDEis reaffirms its role as a key partner in modernizing Italy’s road network, providing innovative solutions that enhance both functionality and sustainability. The Lauria junction now stands as a model for future infrastructure projects, demonstrating how technology and design can work together to create safer and more efficient mobility solutions.
