Italian Traffic Fines Reach Record High in 2023, With Rome and Milan Leading the Way

In 2023, traffic fines collected by the main Municipalities in Italy increased by +6.9% compared to the previous year, totaling 584.7 million euros in the 20 largest cities. Rome held the record with over 172 million euros, followed by Milan with 147 million euros. Florence and Bologna also reported significant figures. According to a study by Codacons, speed cameras contributed to 65 million euros in revenue, with Florence leading in this category.

On a per capita basis, Potenza and Florence had the highest fines at over 123 euros per resident, while Naples had the lowest at 8.2 euros per resident. Overall, traffic fines increased by 6.9%, with surprises like Potenza doubling their collections in just one year. Nine cities saw a decrease in revenues, with Trieste recording the largest drop at 33%.

Codacons president, Carlo Rienzi, expressed concern about the lack of progress in implementing an Observatory on road fines, as mandated by a 2023 law. Despite Minister Salviniā€™s crusade against speed cameras, the Observatory has not yet been established. The association calls for transparency in the use of fines and speed control devices.

The study also highlighted cities with significant growth in revenue, such as Catanzaro, Venice
