Actually, the authorities installed a new system called Tutor, which not only takes a photo if you go over the speed limit where the camera is installed, but keeps recording the timing at each camera of the system, and fines if you go over the speed limit, so if average speed > speed limit. So, no cameras, but you're tracked.

It's massively used in Lazio, the region of Rome, as well as in other segments of the motorway network.
After the ruling by the Court of Cassation last year, it was deemed that the signage warning of a speed camera had to be at least 400m in advance of the camera and clearly placed so all could see it. This has effectively banned all speeding cameras inside of a city as there would be no possible way to erect sginage 400m in advance of every camera from every possible street, side street, alley or via. It just isn't happening. However, on the autostrada, it is of course possible to put up the signage. Here in the Veneto, they have not installed Tutor. I suppose a large part of the reason is the anti-Rome feeling at the moment in the Veneto is very strong. The idea that money from the tickets goes to Rome only to disappear into the void commonly referred to as "Terronia" has caused the authorities here to buck the system.
