Italy Launches National Speed-Camera Registry, Unregistered Devices Barred From November 30

A longstanding lack of formal type‑approval rules leaves many devices legally vulnerable despite the new transparency push.

Overview

  • The Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport activated an online platform on September 30 to register every speed‑detection device within a 60‑day window.
  • Registration requires brand, model, serial number, approval details and location, with data to be published for public consultation on the MIT portal.
  • Under the decree, registration is a prerequisite for lawful use, and fines from devices not entered by November 30 would be invalid as those devices must be switched off.
  • The Cassazione has annulled sanctions from approved but non‑homologated devices, and the government’s earlier draft to define homologation procedures was withdrawn from the EU TRIS system.
  • Consumer group Codacons warns that roughly 60% of fixed and over 67% of mobile devices may lack homologation, signaling further appeals and operational strain for municipalities.
