It is a speed limit control system connected to a local camera positioned along highways that allows to detect average speed limits. This system is managed and controlled by the local police (Polizia Stradale). This system can detect when a car is exceeding a speed limit by making an average calculation of a car speed while travelling between 10 and 25 km, and registering the violation into the appropriate database. The driver will then receive the ticket at home. This system replaces agent posting.
Autostrade per l'Italia
The term ZTL stands for Zona Traffico Linitato (which means Limited Traffic Area). It is enabled in the down town areas of major Italian cities (such as Rome, Turin, Verona, Milan) in order to protect the historical and archaeological heritage, to safeguard citizens' quality of life and to decrease city pollution. Only authorized vehicles can access ZTL areas in respect of set entry hours. Further information on ZTL areas are available on cities official websites.
