About

ZTL Info is an independent site published by ACEITUNA, a French company that builds practical information sites from official data and documents. It started from a simple observation: to find out whether you can drive into the centre of an Italian city, you currently have to cross-check the city ordinance, the local police page, the parking company's site and sometimes a press release, in Italian, hoping that everything is up to date. Often it is not.

How a city page is put together

For each city we start from the official ordinances: the order that sets the zones and hours, its amendments, the fee schedule and the city's service pages (hotel plate registration, disabled badges). The information is rewritten in plain language, laid out the same way from one city to the next, and cross-checked. When two official sources disagree, the page says so and explains which one we follow and why (usually the most recent ordinance). Open data published by some cities, such as camera locations, is used under its licence, which is credited on the page.

Every page shows the date it was checked. A page that has not been reviewed for more than a year is taken down until it is checked again: we would rather publish nothing than outdated hours.

What this site is not

These pages are information, not legal advice. They do not replace road signs on the spot or the ordinance in force, which alone are binding. We do not issue permits, handle appeals against fines or have any tie to a city or a rental company.

Languages

The site is published in Italian, French, German and English. Each version is written in its own language from the same checked data, and a city only appears in a language once its page is complete there.
