Driving in Italy
Driving recommendations
In Italy, driving is on the right side of the road, a contrast to what you're accustomed to in the UK. We recommend an automatic car class if you are not comfortable with manual transmission.
Speed Limit
In urban areas, the speed limit is typically 50 km/h. On the highways, you can speed up to 130 km/h. Beware of the ZTL zones “Zona Traffico Limitato” where traffic restrictions are in place, particularly in historic city centres.

The colour of the parking lines is significant in Italy. White lines indicate free parking, blue lines indicate paid parking while yellow lines are for special use.
