We’re talking about speed cameras again in Italy. Or rather Matteo goes back to doing it SalviniMinister of Transport and Infrastructure, who during the question time in the Chamber announced that to regulate the sector, after 13 years of waiting, “we have finally adopted the decree that regulates the methods of placement and use of these Speed Cameras“.
Too many speed cameras
In particular, the decree was signed last monthrso: will be published in the official gazette on May 28th, e it will be normal from next week. “There is no official census on the total number of speed cameras existing in Italy, some press sources, which we are verifying, speak of approximately 11,300 speed cameras present in the country, equal to 10% of the world total, a clear exaggeration“, Salvini’s words quoted by Ansa.
To protect safety
This is where the new decree comes into play essential rules aimed at ensuring that these speed detection devices are used safely where they are actually needed to prevent accidents and protect users, and not as an additional tax. “Speed cameras near a school, a nursery or a hospital are absolutely useful and sacrosanct, yes so where are they needed. Instead, no to trap speed cameras without real safety needs”Salvini explained in this sense.
New norm, new rules
“Speed cameras will need to be reported in advance respecting minimum distancesat least 1 km outside urban centres, between one device and another there must be minimum distances differentiated based on the type of road: urban or extra-urban to avoid serial fines on the same stretch of road – added the deputy prime minister – The speed detected by speed cameras will be parameterized to that required by the code for each type of road, i.e. 50 km/h in urban centers while on extra-urban roads the devices can only be used to reduce speed by no more than 20 km/h compared to the ordinary limit”.
