Savona. The almost 20 speed cameras installed on the section of the A10 between Spotorno and the Ventimiglia border and vice versa are now shortly.
And the writing of IVG.it, in this last weekend of August, although marked by a meteorological alert (read here) and against exodus, he decided to make a trip to check the situation in Autofiori.

Objective: to see with our eyes where they have been positioned and, above all, to understand if the new electronic speed control stations are visible or not while driving on both lanes in both directions.
At the beginning of July, IVG.it had anticipated the news of the positioning of the new stations, with the relative map (read here), and then the final number of it. And now, a few days after its activation, “we got in the car”, as did tens of thousands of people.
And what has emerged, in our opinion, is sadly the exact opposite of what one should want to achieve by putting in these control tools. One of the fundamental requirements imposed by the highway code, in fact, is that the posts are marked by a special poster and that the structures are clearly visible. But, precisely at this point, we feel that we have more than one doubt. And in almost all recently installed stations.
As can be seen in our images, in many cases the “blue boxes” have been placed near the tunnel exits, behind some walls and, in two cases, they are even completely submerged in the vegetation.
“Thinking wrong makes you sin, but sometimes you are right”, says an old saying, but it seems to be current. In fact, given the way some of the velox have positioned themselves, there are already many motorists who have advanced the suspicion that the intention is not to prevent, but, as they say, “only and only effective.”
For example, a station is “hidden” at the base of a bright billboard and totally invisible to those coming to Genoa because it is hidden behind a control cabinet.
In another case, this time between Finale Ligure and Pietra Ligure, in the direction of France, the station is exactly behind the billboard that indicates an emergency station, resulting completely covered and semi-invisible.
And thus, it is not difficult to witness sudden “braking” by motorists who realize at the last moment the presence of the stations (although we still remember it empty): it is not exactly the best way to avoid accidents and, in particular, rear-end collisions, especially in heavy traffic situations to which we are unfortunately already used to.
All this is also aggravated by the fact that, in the section in question, the speed limits continue to change, varying from the classic 130 km / h to 110, even reaching down to 90 km / h.
