Driving in Italy
- ZTL (limited-traffic) zones in city centres are camera-enforced: heavy fines.
- Headlights required on motorways at all times.
- Carry a reflective jacket and warning triangle.
- 0.05% alcohol limit; zero for drivers under 21.
Parking around the event
Kerb lines signal the rule: blue lines are paid (meter or app, often EUR 1-3/hour), white lines are free, and yellow lines are reserved (residents/disabled). Pay at the parcometro or via apps like EasyPark; illegal parking risks fines and removal (rimozione forzata) by carro attrezzi.
Fines and enforcement
Urban speeding fines start around EUR 45 and rise steeply on highways; handheld phone use is roughly EUR 165+ and can mean a licence suspension. Camera and ZTL fines arrive at the rental firm and are billed to you months later with an admin fee; a ~30% discount applies if paid within 5 days.
