Overview
- The limit took effect on January 15 across the entire ZTL and roughly 1,000 additional streets, including corso Vittorio Emanuele, via del Teatro di Marcello and the Traforo.
- City officials frame the move as a road‑safety and public‑health measure, citing expected cuts to crashes, emissions and noise after 125 road deaths in 2025.
- For the one‑month adjustment period, fixed speed cameras are not allowed in the Zone 30 under 2024 national rules, so violations require immediate police contestation.
- A phased rollout through 2026 includes 175 raised crosswalks, 40 Photored intersection cameras and five new autovelox on via Cristoforo Colombo, with mobile checks to follow the warning displays.
- Political opposition warns of a fines grab, while the administration points to results in other cities such as Bologna’s reported accident reductions and vows not to reverse course.
