Rome is the provincial capital of Lazio which, in 2023, collected the greatest proceeds from fines and sanctions against private individuals for violations of the rules of the Highway Code.
The data emerges from the analysis carried out by Facile.it on the data of Siope*, the information system of the operations of public bodies, which also highlighted how the municipalities have collected more than 138.7 million euros.
In total, in 2023, the Lazio capital municipalities collected almost 148.5 million euros.
The Lazio ranking by income
If, as mentioned, Rome occupies first place in the regional ranking (and second in the national ranking), they place themselves in second and third place on the podium Rieti (7.5 million) e Latin (1.3 million).
The regional rankings are closed by the municipalities of Frosinone (612 thousand) and Viterbo, with over 220,000 euros raised from fines for violating the Highway Code.
Amounts per capita
Facile.it has also calculated the value of “per capita fine” (as the ratio between the revenues recorded in Siope and the number of resident inhabitants) although, it should be specified that not all fines are inflicted on resident motorists and, indeed, in some tourist and commuter areas contribute significantly to the overall figure.
The analysis shows that in this case the ranking changes: in first place is Rieti, with a per capita fine of 166 euros (second place in the national ranking), followed by Rome (50 euros) and – a short distance between of them – Frosinone (14 euros) and Latina (11 euros). Once again, the municipality of Viterbo closes the ranking, with a per capita fine of just 3 euros.
Small municipalities
Limiting the analysis to Lazio municipalities with fewer than 3,500 residents, it ranks first Sperlonga, province of Latina, which has 3,062 inhabitants and, in 2023, collected over 1.4 million euros in traffic fines. Followed on the podium are Bassano in Teverina (VT) which, against 1,267 inhabitants, collected more than 840 thousand euros in fines in 2023, and Poggio San Lorenzo (RI) (546 inhabitants, 415 euros).
