Overview

• The Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport (MIT) has requested a precise national census of speed detection devices, but municipalities have only provided percentage-based data, leading to a standoff.
• Preliminary data from ANCI indicates that 59.4% of fixed and 67.2% of mobile speed cameras were approved before 2017, raising concerns about their compliance with updated homologation requirements.
• Minister Matteo Salvini suspended a draft decree in March 2025, which would have automatically homologated devices approved after 2017 but required older devices to undergo a strict process or face deactivation.
• A recent Court of Cassation ruling reaffirmed that homologation is legally distinct from approval and necessary for issuing fines, adding urgency to the regulatory deadlock.
• With a June 12 deadline looming, the unresolved conflict risks deactivating thousands of devices, potentially impacting road safety and enforcement capabilities nationwide.
