High grass and lack of shoulder generate complaints on the old Piracicaba ring road Motorists and cyclists traveling along the old Piracicaba ring road (SP) face daily difficulties due to the tall grass and lack of shoulder on the road. The stretch of just over 4 km connects Rodovia Luiz de Queiroz (SP-304) to Rodovia Cornélio Pires (SP-147) and received new pavement in 2024. The road also provides access to the Monte Alegre neighborhood, a traditional tourist spot in the city, and concentrates companies and condominiums.

There are sections with a difference in level of almost 10 centimeters between the track and the bank, as well as rubbish and furniture discarded irregularly.
