Turin: ZTL Centrale

Turin's central limited traffic zone is unusually narrow in time — it restricts access on weekday mornings only — but it is backed by one of the more extensive camera networks in Italy. Arriving outside the morning window avoids the restriction entirely.

Restricted Traffic Zone (ZTL) · LAST VERIFIED 2026-09-12

When it's active

Active 07:30–10:30 on working days, excluding Saturday. Outside that window the zone is open to general traffic.

Which vehicles are affected

During the restricted window, only authorized vehicles may circulate or park inside the zone.

Registering a foreign or rental vehicle

Circulating in the zone during the restricted hours requires a permit issued by the city or the operating company. One-off authorizations for occasional trips are requested through GTT, the city transport operator.

How it's enforced

Camera-enforced: plates are photographed at each access point and matched automatically against the permit database recorded when the permit was issued.

Exemptions

Holders of a valid permit issued by the city or the relevant operator. Because the restriction runs only on weekday mornings, timing your arrival outside 07:30–10:30 is the simplest way around it.

Where the zone is

Covers the central area of the city. Entry is camera-controlled at 27 points, with a further 11 camera points covering other restrictions inside the zone.
