ROME – After 12 years of waiting, the decree that should establish the modalities for the location and use of speed cameras on the Italian territory will slip again. This was decided by the Ministry of Sustainable Infrastructure and Mobility, which through Deputy Minister Alessandro Morelli makes it known that “the Mims Road Safety Directorate, together with the competent offices of the Ministry of the Interior, is continuing to finalize the draft of the decree in question, which will hopefully be examined by the State-city and local autonomies Conference by next June. recent rulings on vehicle speed detection. It will be my concern – Morelli underlines – to convene the competent directorates to understand what were the reasons for the delay “.
The decree that defines the rules on how to use speed cameras is provided for by art. 25 of the law n. 120 of 2010 reforming the Highway Code, which prescribes that “by decree of the Minister of Infrastructure and Transport, in agreement with the Minister of the Interior, the methods for placing and use of technical control devices or means are defined , aimed at the remote detection of violations “.
A measure that, after 12 years, still does not see the light, despite the Parliament has called the Ministry of Transport several times to answer for the delay. According to the latest data, in Italy there would be 2.5 million high fines every year from about 8000 speed cameras located throughout the territory. (fp)
