Italy’s Speed Cameras Face October Shutdown as Ministry Delays Key Decree

Delayed publication of the implementing decree by August 19 prevents municipalities from beginning the mandatory census, risking invalidation of speed cameras from mid-October.

Overview

  • Law n.105/2025 requires all municipalities to register their speed-detection devices with the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport, but the implementing decree due August 19 has not been published.
  • The MIT has announced a digital mapping application coming online in September, giving local authorities two months to submit each device’s location, make, model and homologation status.
  • Without the decree and platform, local authorities cannot comply and risk having thousands of autovelox deactivated from October 18 under the new law.
  • Supreme Court rulings in 2024 nullified fines from devices approved but not homologated, and reports indicate about 60% of fixed and 67% of mobile autovelox lack formal homologation.
  • Consumer group Codacons warns of massive cancellations of fines and enforcement gaps, while municipalities face potential revenue shortfalls and road-safety implications.
