In Italy 10% of the world's speed cameras are installed, according to Codacons. The number of devices present on Italian roads and used to sanction exceeding speed limits and traffic light violations is constantly increasing.
The increase in these automatic devices has led to a general increase in road fines in Italy to the point that in 2023 the municipalities collected a total of over 1.5 billion euros with a growth of +23.7% compared to 2019. "Despite the crusade started by Minister Salvini against speed cameras and speed limits, nothing more has been heard of this Observatory, which is part of the MIT", says Codacons president, Carlo Rzi.
