Speed cameras even at night. The new commander of the Local Police, Mario De Sclavis, wants to extend the service for speed control also in the evening hours with patrols and mobile detectors. They will be placed especially on the main consular roads and in the nightlife areas.
Currently this mode only works during the day, but the new leaders of the command at Via della Consolazione have decided to implement this measure to limit the many road accidents caused by speed that were recorded in Rome in 2023: last year there were 192 victims, while three have already been recorded in the first few days of 2024.
Between the territorial groups and the special ones, the command has about twenty mobile speed cameras available. Just as many are the fixed ones in the city. Too few for a city like Rome that extends for almost 1,300 kilometers.
To counteract the phenomenon, the Municipality and the local police body are preparing a series of measures: among the main ones, the activation of the Tutor system, already used in the Giovanni XXIII tunnel, with cameras and speed sensors on the East Ring Road, on the Presidents' viaduct and on Isacco Newton avenue.
Always in the intentions of the Capitol, they want to put more urban police on the street on weekends, while the program for the establishment of 30-kilometer speed zones and interventions to improve traffic on the so-called 'blackpoints', the dangerous intersections, continues.
