Driving Advices for Italy – Traffic Regulations and Road Usage Peculiarities
It will be not simple to find a suitable place for parking in the city. The majority of local streets are very narrow and winding. There are several types of parking, which are very easy to distinguish thanks to their color markup.
Free parking spaces are marked in white. If a road is marked with black and yellow traffic lane markings, the parking is prohibited there. Free parking lots can be found close to major shopping centers, but finding a free stall in them is not easy – as a rule, all the parking spaces are occupied by vehicles of local residents, who know their cities and free parking lots very well.
Paid parking lots are usually marked with blue color. The cost of parking there costs from 1 to 3 euro per hour. As a rule, the most expensive parking lots are located close to major attractions and shopping centers.
