Italian Prostitutes Told To Look More Visible In The Darkness Of The Night By Wearing High Visibility Jackets And Not Miniskirts

An Italian town is to compel prostitutes working on a stretch of highway to wear hi-visibility jackets under road safety hazard rules. Spino d'Adda, located on a highway between Milan and Cremona, is to introduce the law in September. This is a new development in line with the governments efforts to modernizing the economic sub-sector by making it more attractive, professional and safer.

 

The sex workers have been instructed to be covering up their mini-skirts as well, following the new introduction by the deputy mayor of the town of Spino d’Adda, that they should be treated as ‘road workers’. 

 

‘The sex workers should be treated as employees who work on road construction and forced to wear clothes that make them visible, a spokesman to the Mayor, Mr Sinigaglia said. Under the laws, prostitutes could be fined up to €500 (£353, $555) if they fail to wear the outfits designed for road workers between 6pm and 8am.

 

‘We are almost ready with the definitive draft of the document. I hope to have the new law up and running by the start of September.’ Mr Sinigaglia added: ‘Let us hope men don’t get confused and try to pick up a road worker by mistake
