Venice is deploying aquatic speed cameras to enforce speed limits on its iconic canals.
AdvertisementVenice will use speed cameras along its iconic waterways, with fines given to boats that violate speeding rules, following the approval of an amendment by the city's transportation committee.
According to Venice Insider Guide, the amendment permits using "barcaveloxes" to monitor the speed of boats and gondolas navigating the canals.
Barcaveloxes are speed cameras adapted to aquatic environments that can detect when boats are going too fast.
However, the speed cameras, some of which had already been installed, could not be fully activated due to a lack of regulatory infrastructure.
