This is the authority's data, and they haven't republished it since 26 April 2023. The boundary may still be exactly right — most don't move for years. We show the date because a rule can change without the open data changing with it — we have seen an authority announce a new charge on its own website while the matching dataset sat untouched for three years. Check Roma Servizi per la Mobilità's own page before you travel.
There is no national sticker for Italy. A ZTL is a permission zone, not an emissions zone: there is no vignette you can buy that admits you anywhere, the way Crit'Air or the Umweltplakette does. Access is granted zone by zone by the comune — to residents, permit holders and (usually) guests of hotels inside the zone. Permission is usually granted rather than sold, but some comuni are starting to sell annual ZTL permits outright — so check with the comune rather than assuming there is nothing to pay. If you have booked a hotel in the centre, ask them to register your plate before you arrive.

Hours are not published in these datasets. Many Italian ZTLs operate only at certain times, and some only at night — but the comune does not include that in the open data, so we will not state it. Check the sign at the gate or the comune's own page before entering.
The zones that matter most
The emissions ban, the charge zone and the limited-traffic zones — the restrictions most likely to catch a visiting driver.

Limited-traffic zone (ZTL)ZTL Trastevere - area notturna · 2 sectors
3 of these zones are split into sectors — the largest into 8. Sectors are the reason a single wrong turn can cost more than one fine: crossing from one sector into another passes another camera, and each crossing is charged separately. Driving across the centre can therefore produce several fines from one journey, not one.
How to get permission
There is no national portal and nothing to order in advance. Permits are issued by Roma Servizi per la Mobilità, usually to residents and businesses inside the zone. Visitors normally get access one of two ways: a hotel inside the zone registering your plate for the nights you stay, or a temporary permit applied for directly with the comune. If nobody has registered your plate, assume you may not enter.
The published boundary
This is Roma Servizi per la Mobilità's own geometry, not our tracing of it.
Boundaries follow specific streets and the entrances are camera-controlled, so check the sign before you rely on being just outside.

The fine is triggered the moment you cross a gate — not by being inside the area, and not by parking. That distinction is expensive: where a city is split into several sectors, each sector can issue its own separate fine on a single trip. Florence is the best-known case, and it is why gates are stored as their own data here rather than treated as decoration.
