Traffic and tax enforcement in Italy and Slovenia
Overview
Italy and Slovenia have introduced new automated systems to monitor highway activity. In Italy, certain motorways have transitioned to a ‘Free Flow’ toll system using cameras and sensors to capture license plates, with potential fines reaching 344 euros. Slovenia has implemented ‘Section Control’ on four major highway stretches to monitor average speeds by calculating travel time between points, with violations carrying fines of up to 1,200 euros.
In Italy, local municipalities are also utilizing enforcement to bolster revenue. The municipality of Como has contracted SeTe Srl for 123,000 euros to combat waste tax evasion through audits and remote support. Meanwhile, in Bergamo, revenue from Limited Traffic Zone fines has reached 750,000 euros this year, prompting public debate over whether these zones are being used for economic gain despite their stated environmental purposes.
