Limited traffic zone (ZTL)
Zona a traffico limitato
An area of a town where cars may enter only at certain times or with a permit, often checked by camera-controlled gates.
A limited traffic zone (zona a traffico limitato, ZTL) is an area where the town restricts cars: at certain times, or always, you can only drive in with a permit. The gates are often checked by cameras, and anyone driving through without a permit gets the fine by post.
If you buy a home inside a ZTL you are usually entitled to a resident permit, but the rules change from town to town: how many cars per household, whether a company car counts, what it costs, whether a parking space is included. Ask the town hall or the local police before the deed.
There is no open national list of ZTLs: that is why the report does not say whether the address is in a ZTL, but it points out nearby pedestrian streets and reminds you of the questions to ask.
