Italy has one of the highest number of accidents per capita in the EU. I wish they would force Italy to change their rules.
For example, speed limits are all over the place, because local councils don’t want to have responsibility for accidents, so they put unreasonable speed limits just to move the responsibility on the drivers in case of an accident. And those limits change every km or so.
On the other hand, Italy forbids hidden speed traps. In my opinion, all speed traps should be hidden, otherwise people will only follow the rules when there’s a big sign that says “speed limit check”.
Also, we live in the era of AI. Is it so difficult to put cameras that detect illegal behavior automatically? (E.g. drivers not giving the way to pedestrians, etc.)
Speed cameras in Italy have been disabled in many municipalities, following the recent revision of the traffic laws, which rendered some of them illegal.

It is possibly illegal and I, a car-hater, wouldn’t want it.
We have the human police for it. They just need to do their goddamn job.
There must always be a police man checking those pictures, it’s not automated.
And? I don’t want my face and habits fed to a private AI company based in the US.
Image AI models can be run locally, you don’t need a LLM for that
Yea how are AI speed cameras a solution?
Speed cameras already exist, and they work. What the hell would be the purpose of AI in that?
Not sure I even agree with speed cameras, but whatever, it’s something. Rather educate drivers and make sure moroons don’t get licenses but whatever…
