Italy
2026:
For HGVs over 7.5 t GVW, a Sunday and public holiday driving ban applies from 9:00 to 22:00. On Good Friday (3 April) the driving ban applies from 14:00 to 22:00, on the Saturday before Easter from 9:00 to 16:00, and on Republic Day (2 June) from 7:00 to 22:00.
In the summer months from June to September, the driving ban on Sundays begins at 7:00 and ends at 22:00. In addition, a Saturday driving ban applies in July from 8:00 to 16:00 and in August from 8:00 to 22:00 for HGVs over 7.5 t GVW.
For vehicles coming from abroad, the driving bans begin four hours later. For vehicles bound for abroad, the driving bans end two hours earlier (certificate of the start and destination of the transport required).
In Italy, environmental zones have been established in many administrative districts and cities, which, however, prove to be very different with regard to entry conditions, such as emission classes and times. Thus, for the cities of the provinces of Piedmont, Emilia-Romagna, Venice, Lombardy, Naples, Bolzano, Rome, Tuscany, Trentino and Umbria, there is a driving ban for all HGVs of emission classes 0, I, II, III, and in part also IV. Monitoring of these environmental zones is generally very strict and is carried out by video cameras, police checks and auxiliary staff.
Holidays: 1 January, 6 January (Epiphany), 6 April (Easter Monday), 25 April (Liberation Day), 1 May (Labour Day), 25 May (Whit Monday), 2 June (Republic Day), 15 August (Assumption of Mary), 1 November (All Saints' Day), 8 December (Immaculate Conception), 25/26 December.
