ZTL Naples: hours, cameras and how to avoid a fine
Naples has a limited traffic zone (ZTL) watched by cameras. Entering without a permit while it is active means a fine, often for each pass.
ZTL hours in Naples
Several zones: Tarsia-Pignasecca-Dante every day 9:00–18:00; Centro Antico (most gates) every day 9:00–17:00; Belledonne-Martiri-Poerio 19:00–7:00. Pedestrian gates 24h.
Checked Nov 2026. Hours change for holidays and events: the sign at the gate always prevails.
How to avoid a fine
- Park outside the zone and walk in.
- Staying at a hotel inside the zone? Send them your plate before you arrive and ask for confirmation.
- A lit sign saying "VARCO ATTIVO" means the camera is on: do not enter.
- Rental car GPS does not know the ZTL. Follow the signs, not the GPS.
