If it is true that, without doubts and without exception, in the car you must always respect the speed limits, it is also true that in a few cars a limiter is mounted it is possible to be wrong and overcome it, especially in those roads where the limit is very low.
Furthermore, especially if you travel abroad, the limits may be lower than those on Italian roads, facing high risk of fines.
To avoid surprises, in addition to always trying to go slowly and stay informed on speed limits, an application on the phone that notifies us when we are near a speed camera can be useful.
On Android smartphones and on iPhones there are several apps to have free speed camera maps to keep under control, with a speedometer, capable of alerting us, both when we exceed the limit, and when a speed camera is reported later on the road.
The maps indicate fixed and also mobile speed cameras, tutors, checkpoints, traffic conditions and controlled traffic lights that can be reported by the users themselves.

1) Tomtom Autovelox is an Android-only application released a few years ago as an independent tool from the well-known GPS navigator.
It is a very convenient and well-designed, free application that works with user reports.
During a trip by car TomTom Autovelox tells us where we are and the speed limit to keep.
Also, when we are near a speed camera, it is reported. Even if it doesn't work as a navigator where you can find routes and routes, this one from TomTom is also a convenient application for knowing the traffic situation on the road in real time.
It is also one of the few that works with speed cameras on Italian roads and also in other countries including Croatia, France, Germany, Ireland, Portugal, Romania, Spain, the United States, England and many others.
NOTE: If you want a complete app you can also download TomtomGo for Android and iPhone for free, which also includes speed cameras.
2) Fixed and Mobile Speed Cameras is the name of a popular application for Android and iPhone that shows the map of fixed speed cameras throughout Italy and also in many other countries in the world. You can use the application in the car to check the speed limits on all roads and to be notified if a speed camera is detected. In addition to detecting the position of the traffic lights and the Tutor of the Highways speed cameras, the stations usually used for mobile speed cameras are also reported.
3) Sygic Autovelox Italia for Android and for iPhone is a free app similar to that of TomTom, with a real-time speedometer, GPS detection of our route, reporting of speed limits and speed camera warnings. Sygic, which is a competitor of TomTom also for the navigator, shows clean and clear graphics and has one of the most updated and complete databases, which identifies fixed and also mobile speed cameras, also accepting reports from users. The best thing about Autovelox Italia is that it can be integrated into Google Maps. The app can also report checkpoints, traffic lights with cameras, accidents and traffic in real time. Although the name writes Autovelox Italia, this app works worldwide and is my favorite on this list.
4) Speed cameras!, for Android and iPhone, is a free but limited app, which requires payment of the premium version if you want to receive alerts in real time and unlock other functions. The app is able to detect fixed, mobile speed cameras, tutors, controlled traffic lights and then also works as a speedometer to detect the speed of the car via the phone's GPS. This is one of the oldest apps to find Speed Cameras, but today is not, for me, the best since there are really good alternatives.
5) The free Waze navigator for iPhone and Android has, among its functions, the ability to report speed cameras and checkpoints, thanks to user reports.
The peculiarity of this GPS navigator, owned by Google, is precisely that of sharing information on traffic and road conditions, thus giving more updated indications than any other. To use Waze as a speed limiter, you need to activate the speedometer in the advanced settings of the application and then also activate the speed camera warnings.
6) Radar Detector only for Android is another excellent application, light and simple, but updated and that works all over the world, to know where the speed cameras are on the road and receive a warning in case we are exceeding the speed limits. In this way it is not necessary to keep the phone always on, but it can also be kept with the screen off or with the app running in the background.
7) Speed Camera alerts in Google Maps are viewable from 2019.
