Also at the beginning of the week, the State Police made public the roads of Lazio affected by the Speed Cameras, confirming Stradale’s continuous commitment to promoting road safety. The disclosure of the road sections where speed cameras will be active aims to raise awareness among motorists of the importance of moderating their pace and respecting speed limits, in order to prevent road accidents.
For the week from 17 to 23 June 2024, the State Police has communicated the routes affected by speed cameras in the Lazio region. It is essential that motorists pay particular attention to these specific areas to avoid fines and, above all, to ensure the safety of themselves and other road users.
Inappropriate speed is one of the main causes of road accidents, with often tragic consequences for those involved. The publication of speed camera routes is a significant step towards encouraging responsible and conscious driving, thus helping to ensure the safety of all road users.
The periodic publication of the routes affected by speed cameras is an important initiative of the State Police and the Traffic Police to promote awareness of road safety. Motorists are encouraged to pay attention, practice safe driving and obey speed limits to help reduce road accidents and protect the lives of everyone who shares the roads with us. Road safety is a collective responsibility, and every driver plays a crucial role in keeping the roads safe for everyone.

List of motorway sections checked with the TUTOR
To guarantee the Traffic Police greater efficiency in average speed controls on many motorway sections, the concessionaire companies and ANAS have activated and put into use speed detection systems called SICVe, Vergilius and SICVe PM. The Traffic Police, according to the provisions of Ministerial Decree no. 282 of 13 June 2017 of the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport, carries out the initial verification of the system, as well as periodic checks on an annual basis. Today, approximately 1060 km of motorway carriageways are controlled with these systems.
