“Suspected the scheme of decree that regulates the use of speed cameras and which was in the transmission phase in Brussels”.
This is what MIT decided, on the indication of the vice premier and minister of infrastructure and transport Matteo Salvini, because further insights are needed. So a note from the Dicastery of Porta Pia.
In the transitory provisions, the decree establishes that from next summer all the devices approved from 13 June 2017 onwards are to be considered automatically approved: which would put an end to the appeals against fines.
The chaos on the speed of the speed cameras was born from a sentence of April 18, 2024 of the Court of Cassation which established that the excess fines are not valid if the device that imposed them is not approved.
The decree consists of 7 articles and a long technical attachment containing characteristics, requirements and homologation, calibration and verification procedures of the functionality of the devices and systems for the assessment of violations of the maximum speed limits, pursuant to art. 142 of the Highway Code.
In detail in article 6 of the decree, relating to the transitory provisions, it is stated that “the devices or systems approved in accordance with the decree of the Minister of Infrastructure and Transport of 13 June 2017, n. 282, being compliant with the provisions of the technical annex, are to be considered approved ex officio”. So all the speed cameras approved from 13 June 2017 onwards are to be considered approved and can remain in operation.
