Car & Motorcycle
Driving around Rome is not recommended. Riding a scooter or motorbike is faster and makes parking easier, but Rome
is no place for learners, so if you're not an experienced rider give it a miss. Hiring a car for a day trip out of town is
worth considering.
Most of Rome's historic centre is closed to normal traffic from 6.30am to 6pm Monday to Friday, from 2pm to 6pm
Saturday, and from 11pm to 3am Friday and Saturday. Evening restrictions also apply in Trastevere, San Lorenzo, Monti
and Testaccio, typically from 9.30pm or 11pm to 3am on Friday and Saturday.
All streets accessing the 'Limited Traffic Zone' (ZTL) are monitored by electronic-access detection devices. If you're
staying in this zone, contact your hotel. For further information, check www.agenziamobilita.roma.it .
Driving Licence & Road Rules
All EU driving licences are recognised in Italy. Holders of non-EU licences must get an International Driving Permit
(IDP) to accompany their national licence. Apply to your national motoring association.
To ride a scooter up to 125cc, the minimum age is 18 and a licence (a car licence will do) is required. For anything
over 125cc you need a motorcycle licence.
Other rules:
» Drive on the right, overtake on the left and give way to cars coming from the right.
» It's obligatory to wear seat belts, to drive with your headlights on outside built-up areas, and to carry a warning tri-
angle and fluorescent waistcoat in case of breakdown.
» Wearing a helmet is compulsory on all two-wheeled vehicles.
» The blood alcohol limit is 0.05%.
Unless otherwise indicated, speed limits are as follows:
» 130km/h on autostradas
» 110km/h on all main, non-urban roads
» 90km/h on secondary, non-urban roads
