Overview
- The Transport Ministry released a national database of active speed‑enforcement devices, showing fewer than 4,000 units and undercutting prior estimates of 11,000–14,000.
- Officials say penalties issued by equipment not listed in the census can be challenged and nullified.
- Supreme Court rulings require formal homologation in addition to approval, a standard many devices do not meet, with recent annulments reported in Ventimiglia.
- The database lists brand, model and serial numbers, though reporters note unclear or incomplete location details for many fixed installations.
- A draft decree to retroactively treat newer devices as homologated was pulled earlier this year, and stakeholders now press for a legislative or regulatory fix or even a pause in controls.
