Campobasso’s ZTL closes the historic centre to anyone without a permit, and Euro class plays no part in it — only residency and eligibility. Hotel guests can have their plate registered at check-in; everyone else is photographed by the cameras at the gates and billed under the national rule for restricted traffic zones, EUR 83 to 332 under article 7 paragraph 14 of the Codice della Strada.

Campobasso ZTL — Zona a Traffico Limitato
The zone protects the old town on the hill, where the streets are narrow and the parking is scarce. Access works as a whitelist: the comune holds a database of authorised plates, the cameras at the entry points read every registration that crosses, and anything not on the list generates a notice. It is the opposite of an emission zone, where a rule is applied to your vehicle — here a decision is applied to you.

Who can enter?
- Residents with a permit
- Hotel guests, once the accommodation registers the plate
- Disabled badge holders
- Businesses, deliveries and loading with a valid permit
Hours
Campobasso publishes no single band covering the whole zone, and Italian ZTL timetables vary by street and by season. Read the panel above the gate: it states exactly when the restriction is in force on that entrance, and that sign is what counts if you contest a notice.
Fines
EUR 83 to 332 plus costs, under article 7 paragraph 14 of the Codice della Strada, for an unauthorised entry. Notices reach foreign addresses through commercial tracing services; what does not exist is automatic EU enforcement, because Directive 2015/413 covers only eight road-safety offences and access restrictions of this kind are not among them.
Tips for visitors
- Ask your accommodation to register the plate before you arrive rather than after.
- If you are renting, ask how the rental company passes on ZTL notices — they will charge an admin fee on top.
- Park outside the perimeter and walk up. The centre is compact and the climb is short.
- Treat the gate sign as the rule, not the listings you read before the trip.
Recent changes to this page
- ZTL fine wording brought up to date: since 14 December 2024 (art. 198 c.2-bis of the Codice della Strada), repeat camera entries into the same ZTL on the same day count as one violation, not one fine per gate.
- Corrected the fine and the hours: the statutory penalty under article 7 paragraph 14 of the Codice della Strada is EUR 83 to 332, not EUR 83 to 160, and the weekday 08:00-20:00 band the page printed is not published by the comune. Entry restated as permit and residency based, with no Euro test.
- Title, description and introduction rewritten from this page's own data (no shared template wording).
- Re-verified requirements against Italy authority sources.
- Confirmed ZTL permit required remains mandatory; 2026 ruleset unchanged.
- Updated enforcement procedure notes after seasonal review cycle.

The sign at the gate decides it. Campobasso does not publish one fixed band covering the whole zone, and Italian ZTL hours vary by street and season, so read the panel above the varco before crossing.
If it sits inside the zone, yes — hand over your plate, make and model and your dates before arrival so the accommodation can register the vehicle for your stay.
