ZTL access rules for Bologna — who can enter
Italian ZTL (Bologna) is permission-based, not Euro-class based. Only authorised vehicles may enter during active hours; non-residents face a €87 fine per offence (Codice della Strada Art. 7). Enforcement: ANPR cameras at every entry point.

Bologna ZTL Centro Storico copre l'intero centro all'interno dei viali. Lun-ven 7:00-20:00, sab 7:00-22:00, dom 14:00-22:00. Aggiunta ZTL Università durante l'anno accademico. Telecamere SIRIO + RITA.
Non-residents who need legitimate ZTL access (hotel guests, deliveries, weddings) must apply for a temporary permit (autorizzazione temporanea) with the comune online before entering. Hotels can request permits for guests; commercial activities can register their vehicle plate for delivery hours. Foreign-registered vehicles work the same — ANPR cameras read all EU plates.
