Driving in Italy

If you travel to Italy be real careful where you drive. A friend of mine got back from there about 4 months ago and he now has received a letterbox full of fines from there. There is a law there called 'Zona traffico limitato'. Basically if your number plate is on the list then you are allowed to drive in that street if not the camera takes a photo and you get a fine in the mail.  My friend has to pay over 700 euros in fines now.

Driving in Italy

It is the responsibility of foreign drivers to be able to read road signs in Italy (and other countries)..


They are well posted and not hard to understand.


I was a regular visitor to Italy over decades.....never had a problem.


But it would be a good idea for car rental companies to provide ALL tourists with a list of signs and what they mean in the glove box.
