144 out of 557 high-speed trains have already been switched off in Lombardy

The article reports on the impact of a reform initiated by Transport Minister Matteo Salvini, which has led to the deactivation of 144 speed cameras (autovelox) in Lombardy out of a total of 557. The reform aims to reduce the use of speed cameras for revenue generation, promoting transparency and standardized safety measures. In Milan, ten out of seventeen speed camera installations have been turned off, with no indication of when they might be reactivated. The article also mentions a legal challenge against a pedestrian-only zone (piazza tattica) created by the city in April, which closed traffic on Via Gattamelata and removed approximately two hundred parking spaces. Legal action has been taken against this measure.

Bias read (Conservative): The article frames the reform as a positive step toward reducing revenue-driven speed camera usage, aligning with the policies of the League party (of which Salvini is a leader). It emphasizes the reduction of 'unfair' speed camera practices and highlights the government's role in standardizing road
