Ticino police speed enforcement operations

Overview

The Ticino Cantonal Police and municipal forces have implemented a series of scheduled speed enforcement operations across various districts to improve traffic safety.

In early September, authorities announced mobile and semi-stationary controls covering districts such as Bellinzona, Leventina, Locarno, Lugano, Mendrisio, Riviera, and Vallemaggia. These initial measures targeted numerous specific municipalities but excluded highway networks and unmarked vehicle checks.

By late September, enforcement focused on mobile controls in the Blenio, Bellinzona, Locarno, Lugano, and Mendrisio districts, alongside semi-stationary measurement systems in Lodrino, Molino Nuovo, and Avegno.

For the week of September 21 to September 27, 2026, mobile controls continued across the Blenio, Bellinzona, Locarno, Lugano, and Mendrisio districts, with semi-stationary systems maintained in Lodrino, Molino Nuovo, and Avegno.

During the week of September 28 to October 4, 2026, operations targeted the Bellinzona, Locarno, Lugano, and Mendrisio regions. Semi-stationary controls were scheduled for Avegno, Cadenazzo, Lodrino, and Novazzano. Mobile speed monitoring was planned for several towns, including Arbedo, Ascona, Chiasso, and Lugano. Authorities noted that these announced locations do not represent all possible enforcement actions, as unannounced checks using laser pistols and civilian vehicles may also occur.

For the week of October 5 to October 11, 2026, the Cantonal Police and municipal forces have announced further mobile and semi-stationary speed controls, specifically targeting high-risk areas including Bellinzona, Lugano, and Locarno.
