In the greater Milan area, the police and authorities from Austria, Belgium, and France conducted road checks. This action was part of the European cooperation of traffic police under the leadership of the European Labour Authority ELA. In addition to the Italian State Police, the Austrian police as well as transport and labor authorities from Belgium and France were involved.

Alongside the Italian State Police, the Austrian police and transport and labor authorities from Belgium and France were involved in the traffic checks on several motorway sections around Milan. Compliance with EU regulations on driving and rest times as well as the necessary permits for international transport were checked. Vehicle registrations and possible manipulations were also examined to uncover illegal trade and scrapping crime.

Focus on Traffic Violations in Milan During Road Checks

Special attention was also paid to violations of the road traffic regulations, including alcohol and drug influence at the wheel, excessive speed, the use of mobile phones while driving, and the correct use of seat belts. The technical condition of the vehicles was also checked. Specialists from the Italian registration authority Motorizzazione Civile were deployed, supported by experts from the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport as well as inspectors from the national labor inspection. The cooperation is to be continued in the coming months. After inspections already carried out in Belgium, Romania, Malta, Croatia, Cyprus, and Austria, further joint operations are planned in several European countries. These are to be organized again by the European Labour Authority ELA in cooperation with the Italian State Police.
