In the blue zone, the pedestrian area, no vehicle may drive or park. In the light-blue zone only authorised vehicles may drive, and nobody may park. In the green zone authorised vehicles may drive and park. Disabled people with a permit, police and emergency vehicles, and permit holders may enter; taxis and hire cars with driver must notify the city of the entry within 48 hours. Vans up to 3.5 tonnes may enter to load and unload from 7:00 to 10:30 and from 14:30 to 16:00, but not in the blue zone or on Corso Cavour, Corso Mazzini and Strada Nuova. Drivers without a yearly permit can ask for a day permit, which costs €10.00 a day for cars.

Residents with a garage or courtyard get a driving-only permit, to reach their parking space; those without get the driving and parking permit, which allows free parking on the yellow and blue bays of the zone shown on the pass. The city also issues permits for non-resident occupants, doctors, schools, businesses and deliveries.

I entered the Pavia ZTL by taxi: do I need to do anything?

No, not as a passenger: the taxi or hire-car driver must notify the city of the entry within 48 hours, giving the date and attaching the registration document and licence. If you were driving a self-drive rental car, though, that is not a hire car with driver and you need a permit.
