Turin ZTL: Centrale, Area Romana and Valentino Hours

By Josep Mampel Marques, updated November 11, 2026

Turin's ZTL Centrale is active from 07:30 to 10:30 on weekdays, Saturday excluded, according to SicurAUTO (25 March 2026); inside it, the Area Romana is closed every night from 21:00 to 07:30, and the separate Valentino ZTL is closed around the clock. ZTL Map does not cover Turin yet, so these are reported hours that we could not match to the Comune di Torino's own page. Read the sign at each gate.

The zones and their reported hours

Zone	Hours reported by SicurAUTO
ZTL Centrale	Monday to Friday 07:30 to 10:30; Saturday excluded; access and parking banned in those hours except for authorised vehicles
Area Romana (inside the Centrale)	21:00 to 07:30 the next day, every day including holidays; the Piazza Emanuele Filiberto gate starts earlier, at 19:30
Public transport zone (inside the Centrale)	07:00 to 20:00, every day including holidays
Pedestrian area (inside the Centrale)	All day, every day
ZTL Valentino	Closed to traffic and parking 24 hours a day, every day, with loading allowed Monday to Friday 10:30 to 12:00 and 15:00 to 16:30, and Saturday 10:30 to 12:00

Other guides we found agree on the Centrale and Area Romana hours; one English-language expat guide gives 21:00 to 06:00 from Friday to Sunday for the night zone, which contradicts the rest. When sources disagree we use the most restrictive hours, so assume the Area Romana applies every night until 07:30.

SicurAUTO's article is about the extension of the Valentino park perimeter, so that area has recently changed. If your route passes near the Valentino park, a map from last year may be wrong.

Reading the hours

The Centrale is a morning restriction. If you arrive after 10:30 on a weekday, or at any time on a Saturday or Sunday, the Centrale itself is not in force. That is not the same as the Area Romana at night.
The Area Romana crosses midnight. A closure from 21:00 to 07:30 means the next morning too. Arriving at 06:30 is still inside the closure.
Zones are nested. The Area Romana, the public transport zone and the pedestrian area are inside the Centrale, so you can be free of one rule and still inside another.
Use Italian time and read the panel at the gate: see is the ZTL active now? and how to recognise a ZTL sign and camera.

Who can enter

According to SicurAUTO, permits for the Centrale are for residents, lodgers and owners of parking spaces inside it, and they depend on the emission class: Euro 3 or higher for ordinary cars, Euro 2 or higher for gas, methane or LPG vehicles. It lists as exempt mopeds, light quadricycles, motorcycles, licensed security vehicles, vehicles carrying disabled people and car sharing services. It says nothing about hotel guests, and we have not found a reliable source for a tourist or hotel procedure in Turin. If your hotel is inside the Centrale, ask it what it can do. Our hotel guide shows what other cities require so that you know what to ask.

The Valentino ZTL is for authorised vehicles only; the article does not say which categories.

Fines

SicurAUTO gives 87 to 345 EUR for entering without authorisation (article 7, paragraph 13 of the Highway Code), and 168 to 679 EUR for entering with a vehicle in a lower emission class than allowed, with a driving licence suspension of 15 to 30 days possible if the second offence is repeated within two years. These ranges differ from the 83 to 332 EUR we cite elsewhere for article 7, paragraph 14, because the paragraphs are different and sources update their figures at different times, so read the amount on your notice. For a rental car, the notice reaches you through the rental company: see ZTL fines with a rental car.

Practical tips

If you arrive on a weekday morning, plan to be outside the Centrale before 07:30 or to enter after 10:30, and check your hotel's position first.
For an evening in the Area Romana, expect the restriction to apply from 21:00 (19:30 at Piazza Emanuele Filiberto): park outside and walk.
Do not follow a navigation app blindly: see Google Maps, Waze and ZTLs.

Frequently asked questions

Does ZTL Map show Turin?

Not yet. Our checker covers Florence, Rome, Milan, Bologna and Lucca. We add a city when we can trace its boundaries and hours to a source.

Is the Turin ZTL active on Saturday and Sunday?

According to SicurAUTO, the Centrale is not active on Saturday and Sunday, but the Area Romana at night and the Valentino ZTL apply every day. The Valentino also applies on public holidays.

Can I drive a motorbike into the Turin ZTL?

SicurAUTO lists motorcycles and mopeds among the vehicles exempt from the Centrale. We have not confirmed the position for the Area Romana or the Valentino, so read the signs. See ZTL rules for motorcycles and scooters.
