For amounts not paid by foreign users, enforced collection would be provided for. Among the other news indicated by Ultimora.net were the reduction of fines and the suspension of the automatic biennial adjustment to inflation, in addition to the decrease from 90 to 45 days for notifying reports related to remote checks without immediate contestation. The age limit for professional transportation with trucks and buses would rise from 68 to 70 years, while motorcyclists would be allowed to use the emergency lane on the highway in case of accidents or significant slowdowns. Ultimora.net also reported that helmets and identification would become mandatory for powered cycles, including some bicycles used by riders, and that electric scooters would be banned from circulation when obstructing or endangering pedestrians. Finally, all municipalities would have to join the national platform for the European disabled identification badge; those that do not comply would not be able to use remote detectors to confirm violations in reserved parking and ZTL areas. #CodicedellaStrada #SicurezzaStradale #NuoveNorme (translated)
