Ferrara Waiting to understand how the approval process will evolve speed cameras and tutorswhich after the recent ruling of the Court of Cassation puts an unspecified quantity of fines at risk of being invalidated and is causing considerable concern to municipal administrations, citizens can compare the “danger” of the streets frequented by them. The count is favored by a report of Facile.it which compared Italian municipalities on the basis of absolute and per capita collections from violations of the highway code, now in the vast majority of cases resulting precisely from the action of automatic detectors. The result is a somewhat surprising picture, at least at a local level, even if the data aggregation mechanisms do not always allow us to go into the detail of individual territorial areas. Comacchio beats Ferrara anywayand not by little.
Top of every category It is obviously the large cities such as Milan, Rome or Florence that lead the national “ranking” of sanctions for violation of the highway code, and in fact position in the ranking depends largely on size (Bologna is in fifth place with 31.6 million fines). Already more indicative per capita valueagain calculated from the proceeds of Siope, the information system of public bodies, updated to February 2024. At a national level Florence stands outwith 198 euros of average requests in a year, although obviously the data should also be spread on visitors coming from outside the city, among the favorite “victims” of speed cameras or bus lane detectors; in second place there is Power with 121 euros, while Milan slips to fifth place with “just” 108 euros. This concerns the provincial capitals, while if municipalities with fewer than 1,000 residents are taken into consideration, Canda comes in third place, in that Rodigino area which has come under the spotlight for serial damage to speed cameras, which has recorded proceeds for over 426 thousand euros.
The areas of Ferrara The Siope system returns data from individual municipalities or unions of municipalities, which must be weighted on the number of inhabitants before any comparison. So here it is proceeds from fines of the capitalbeyond 4.5 million in 2023, by far the most consistent figure at the provincial level, leads to 34.81 euros on average per capita. With a figure like this, Ferrara places itself in the lower part of the provincial ranking, ahead of only Poggio Renatico, Lagosanto, Fiscaglia and (but just barely) Union of Municipalities of the Delta Lands, which includes Codigoro, Goro and Mesola. The provincial ranking is led by Comacchiowith 2,470,014 euros in total from fines and sanctions, which they do 112 euros per capita, a data capable of placing the lagoon inhabitants in the medium-high positions of a virtual ranking including all the municipalities. Comacchio is also in second place in the Ferrara area in terms of overall revenues. Returning to the per capita, the “podium” is completed byUnion of Valley and Delizie Municipalities (Silver, Portomaggiore And Hosted) that having collected 2,466,186 euros in one year it shows a “dangerousness” index equal to 60.91. The numbers are quite aligned Lands of the Rhine (489,000 euros, 48.85), Union of Land and River Municipalitieswhich comprises Copparo, Bank of the Po And Tresignana (beyond 1.4 million equal to 47.02) And Bondeno (611,389, 44.23). Then comes the last block of entities, led by the capital.
Explanations TO Ferrara the relatively low rate of fines per capita cannot be a surprise, given that little use of fixed veloxes and the Municipality’s propensity to use the local police for territorial security tasks, rather than control, for example, of parking bans. In Comacchio and Lidi they have an impact as well as the velox on the connecting roads, also the fines for parking bans at the entrance to the beaches, magnified by tourist waves. And the Ferrara-Lidi highway certainly “helps” the revenues of Valli e Delizie.
