San Marino and Italy are pursuing various reforms and local measures to improve road safety and traffic management.

In San Marino, new decrees mandate helmets and lights for electric scooter and bicycle riders, while also introducing rules for single-file cycling and testing new signage to enforce a 1.5-meter passing distance. In Italy, the Ministry of Transport is preparing updates to the Highway Code, with cycling federations lobbying for changes such as the abolition of strict requirements for cyclists to stay to the far right of the road.

At the municipal level in Italy, Venaria Reale has installed high-tech speed cameras at a major ring road junction to monitor red-light violations. Simultaneously, Sesto Fiorentino is implementing eighteen new ‘30 km/h zones’ in its city center, specifically targeting areas near schools and public services to enhance safety.
