A small Italian city may have discovered a new source of revenue after its traffic camera detected 58,568 speeders in just two weeks, but it would prefer drivers to slow down instead.
According to Sky News, the village of Acquetico, in northern Italy, which has only 120 inhabitants, tested the camera in September to reduce speed on the main two-lane road that runs through it .
City Mayor Allesandro Allesandri said that one in three vehicles was caught overtaking the speed limit at 31 mph, the worst reaching 84 mph on the winding pass. from the mountains, a popular place for illegal motorcycle racing.
"We hope that these speed indicators can be an effective deterrent for motorists and that they can benefit the citizens of Acquetico because we do not want to earn money with fines, but they are necessary to protect the safety of people. "
The city has not decided if it will bring back the cameras permanently.
