Road Signs in Italy

Signposts are essential on the roads, especially when driving in a country other than what we are used to. Italian roads are generally well signposted, the asphalt is extremely well maintained and presents no major problems for those driving there. Of course,  it’s not always a bed of roses, you can find some poorly maintained roads, but it’s rare, okay? If you are planning to drive, be sure to read this post about traffic signs in Italy. Let’s go to our post of the day: Road Signs in Italy.  Here at Your Travel to Italy with Ana Patricia you make the trip of your dreams!!! ALSO: see our “Accommodation in Italy – Tips for your holidays!”

1) Road Signs in Italy –  IMPORTANT INFORMATIONS

Before talking about signposts in Italy it is important to gather a few important items for your trip. Read carefully the items below and see if everything is in order for you to drive outside your country responsibly and safely;)

International Driving Permit – I D P

If you intend to drive in Italy it is essential to carry the International Driving License, the famous IDP (International Driving Permit), of course accompanied by the driver’s license and your passport (all documents must be within the validity period) or the driver’s license from your country of residence with Sworn Translation. Remember that the laws in Italy are strict and are for everyone: tourists and locals. Read our special Post made for IDP – International Driving Permit, and learn how to get yours.

Renting a Car in Italy

My advice for those who are going to rent a car on Italian soil is: respect the signs, permitted speeds and always be equipped with the documents we have just mentioned. Another important thing to do is even before you travel, make a plan, a complete itinerary with the car, so you will feel safer to drive in Italy.

What is a ZTL sign? It is an abbreviation of Zona a Traffico Limitato (Limited Traffic Zone), normally established in areas of the Historic Center of many Italian cities, with the purpose of protecting the historical and archaeological heritage of the city, protecting the quality of life of the neighborhoods and encouraging the use of public transport in order to reduce environmental and acoustic pollution in the area.
