Rome ZTL: hours and gates active now

The Rome ZTL has seven zones with different hours. The daytime Historic Centre is preset: change zone, day and time to see whether the gate is active.

Independent site, not a city service: the municipal order and the signs at the gate are what count.

Rome has the most complex set of limited-traffic zones in Italy: the daytime Historic Centre ZTL, closed Monday to Friday from 6:30 to 18:00 and on Saturday from 14:00 to 18:00; the Tridente, the area between Piazza del Popolo and Piazza di Spagna, closed Monday to Friday from 6:30 to 19:00 and on Saturday from 10:00 to 19:00, motorbikes and mopeds without a permit included; Trastevere, closed in the morning from Monday to Saturday between 6:30 and 10:00; and four night ZTLs that switch on on Friday and Saturday evenings. The Historic Centre and Testaccio night zones close from 23:00 to 3:00; Trastevere and San Lorenzo from 21:30 to 3:00, and from May to October also on Wednesday and Thursday. The daytime zones and the Centre and Testaccio night zones stop on public holidays; the Trastevere and San Lorenzo night zones do not. In August the Historic Centre and San Lorenzo night zones are switched off. Hours from Roma Servizi per la Mobilità (Roma Capitale), page dated 28 July 2026, read on 13 November 2026.

Who may enter without a fine

Holders of a permit for that ZTL, displayed on the windscreen or rear window, may enter, as may people with a disability holding the CUDE badge with the holder on board, taxis and chauffeur-driven hire cars, and the categories set by law. Permit rules and prices are on the ZTL permits page; our permits and exemptions page compares Rome with other cities.

The Fascia Verde is not a timed ZTL

The Fascia Verde is a perimeter much wider than the centre, which you can check address by address on Roma Servizi per la Mobilità’s map, and it does not close the road to everyone: it bans the most polluting vehicles from Monday to Saturday at all hours. A Euro 6 car drives freely in the Fascia Verde but not into the Historic Centre during the daytime period. For Friday night use the night ZTL page, for the fine the ZTL fine calculator.

Frequently asked questions

Tap a question to see the answer.

Is the Rome ZTL active on Sundays?

The daytime zones are not: the Historic Centre, the Tridente and daytime Trastevere have no hours on Sunday. The night ZTLs, however, start on Friday and Saturday evening and end at 3 a.m., so on the night between Saturday and Sunday the gate stays on until 3:00 on Sunday. The Trastevere and San Lorenzo night zones stay active even when the day is a public holiday.

Can I ride a motorbike into the Rome ZTL?

Yes, in the Historic Centre, Trastevere, San Lorenzo and Testaccio, motorbikes and mopeds may enter at any time and park in the two-wheeler bays. The exception is the Tridente (A1): there, motorbikes and mopeds also need a permit for that zone. The Fascia Verde ban on the oldest motorbikes still applies.

Do electric cars enter the Rome ZTL for free?

Not any more. Under city council resolution 63 of 27 February 2026, from 1 July 2026 fully electric and hydrogen cars also need a permit to enter and drive in the ZTLs. The permit is annual and cheaper than the one for petrol or diesel cars; for some categories it is free.

Is the Rome ZTL open in August?

Only partly. Roma Servizi per la Mobilità states that in August the Historic Centre night ZTL and the San Lorenzo ZTL are not active. The daytime Historic Centre, the Tridente, Trastevere and Testaccio have no summer suspension on that page, so they keep their normal hours in August.
