RESTRICTED TRAFFIC ZONES IN ITALY
Traffic is restricted in many historical centres/major towns in Italy known as 'Zone a Traffico Limitato' or ZTL's. Circulation in these areas is either fully prohibited, only permitted for residents or there are time restrictions that apply.
Entering such areas whether using your own car or a hire car will almost certainly result in you receiving a fine by post, sometimes many months later.
We recommend you read our general touring tips too.
