In 2025, revenue from speed camera fines plummeted. If in 2024 62.1 million euro had been collected thanks to electronic speed control instruments, last year the revenues of the 20 largest Italian cities - with the exception of Naples, which had not yet submitted documentation as of 31 May - stopped at 56.5 million euro, a drop of 8.9 per cent. This is what emerges from a study carried out by Codacons, which was based on the data that municipalities provide to the Ministry of the Interior by the end of May every year.

Florence made the most revenue from speed cameras

The city with the highest revenue from speed cameras in 2025 is Florence, which collected EUR 19.7 million. Completing the podium Bologna, with 9.2 million, and Milan, with 6.9 million. This is followed by Genoa (4.8 million) and Palermo (4.2).

As Codacons points out, however, analysing the data provided by smaller municipalities reveals surprising results. The municipality of Galatina, in Salento, collected EUR 5.3 million from speed cameras in 2025, a figure that rises to EUR 9.3 million if the revenues of the municipalities of Trepuzzi, Cavallino, Lecce and the provincial administration of Lecce are also taken into account.

Also noteworthy is the case of Colle Santa Lucia, in the province of Belluno, which, despite having only slightly more than 300 inhabitants, has collected more than EUR 2 million between 2021 and 2025 thanks to its only speed camera, for an average of EUR 5,989 per resident.

The collapse in Rome

However, the results obtained in 2025 are not homogeneous across the entire peninsula. Some cities recorded record drops in takings: among the worst performers were Trieste (-94.4%), Bolzano (-84.2%) and Bari (-73%).

A vertical drop was also recorded in Rome, where revenue from speed camera fines more than halved compared to 2024, from EUR 4.8 million to EUR 2.3 million. In Milan, the drop was 34.8 per cent (10.6 million had been collected in 2024).

But for some municipalities, the revenue from electronic speed enforcement has increased significantly. This is the case of Ancona, where there has been a 116% increase over 2024 (from 855 thousand euros to 1.8 million). This is followed by Genoa (+54%) and Cagliari (+42%).

The reasons for the decline

According to Codacons, the drop in revenue from speed camera fines 'can be attributed, on the one hand, to the regulation of speed cameras implemented last 12 June', which was responsible for 'imposing stricter rules on local authorities', and, on the other hand, 'to the numerous judgments of the Supreme Court of Cassation that have rejected penalties raised by unapproved devices, leading many administrations to deactivate these instruments'.
