ItalyThe Italian government has published a new decree in the Official Gazette introducing stricter regulations for automated speed cameras ('autovelox'). The decree, effective from July 12, outlines detailed procedures for the homologation, verification, and calibration of these devices. Key changes include setting numerical reliability standards for the devices, such as requiring them to detect vehicles at least 90% of the time and correctly associate speed readings with vehicles at least 95% of the time. The rules also specify accuracy limits during testing, allowing a maximum deviation of 3 km/h up to 100 km/h and 3% beyond that. These measures aim to resolve longstanding disputes between drivers and local authorities over the reliability and fairness of autovelox systems.
