Milan ZTL: Area C, Area B and night zones
The Milan ZTL is not a single zone: the Navigli night ZTL is preset. Pick Area C, Area B or another zone and the time to see whether it is active.
Independent site, not a city service: the municipal order and the signs at the gate are what count.

Milan restricts traffic on three levels. Area C, inside the Cerchia dei Bastioni ring, is a charging zone: Monday to Friday from 7:30 to 19:30, public holidays excluded, you may only enter with a €7.50 day ticket, and electronic gates read your plate. Area B, much wider and marked out by blue gates, has the same hours but charges nothing: it bans the most polluting vehicles listed by the city. Then there are neighbourhood ZTLs, which the city lists in its open “Aree pedonali e ZTL” dataset: some with night hours, such as the Navigli, closed every day from 20:00 to 7:00, Arco della Pace, from 22:00 to 6:00, Via Lagrange and Corso Manusardi, from 20:00 to 2:00 Monday to Thursday and from 19:00 to 3:00 at weekends, and Ascanio Sforza, closed from Friday evening to Monday morning. The Area C and Area B pages were updated on 15 October 2026; the dataset on 8 May 2026.

Area C and Area B come from the City of Milan pages; the neighbourhood zones from the “Aree pedonali e ZTL” dataset (CC BY licence), in its notes field. The dataset also lists ZTLs with no hours stated, such as Ticinese, Corso Como or Garibaldi: we do not show them, because without hours we cannot say whether they are active.
Area C and Area B in short
Area C is the central charging zone: the ticket lasts the whole day, you may drive in and out several times with the same vehicle, and it must be activated by midnight on the day of entry. Area B is a low-emission zone: it costs nothing for an allowed vehicle. Both areas have the same hours, so an evening or a Saturday in Milan is no problem as long as you stay out of the night zones.
Evenings in Milan
Anyone driving to the Navigli in the evening finds the ZTL already active from 20:00, every day of the year. To see which zones are on at a given time in every city, use the night ZTL page; to work out a fine, the ZTL fine calculator.
