Source: official source · Verified: 2026-09-19
Chioggia has four ZTL areas. From 1 April to 31 October the gates run 11:00-04:00 on weekdays and 09:00-04:00 on Sundays; in winter they close at 20:00 instead.
Locally the zone is called Zona a Traffico Limitato Chioggia (Italy) — that is the wording on the boundary signs, on the official portal and on any penalty notice, so it is the phrase to search for once you are there.

Chioggia’s historic centre is divided into four Zone a Traffico Limitato, each with camera-controlled gates. For the three centro storico areas the timetable is seasonal: from 1 April to 31 October the gates are live 11:00-04:00 on working days and 09:00-04:00 on Sundays and public holidays; from 1 November to 31 March they run 11:00-20:00 and 09:00-20:00 respectively (Comune di Chioggia). Entry depends on a permit registered against your plate — never on the car’s Euro class.

Chioggia ZTL — the four areas
The zones were established under Art. 7 of the Codice della Strada, with the perimeters annexed to council resolution no. 132/2020. Each area has its own gates, monitored by cameras on both entry and exit:
- ZTL1 — Centro storico Ovest: gates V2 Riva-Canale Lombardo and V4 Chiesa S. Giacomo-Corso Nord-Vigo
- ZTL2 — Centro storico Nord-Est: gate V6 Riva-Canale S. Domenico NORD
- ZTL3 — Centro storico Sud-Est: gate V5 Riva-Canale S. Domenico SUD
- ZTL4 — Centro storico-Corso: gates V1 Campo Marconi, V3 Calle Duomo and V7 Isola Unione
The seasonal timetable above is the one the disciplinare sets for ZTL1, ZTL2 and ZTL3.
Who can enter
Circulation during active gate hours is reserved to those listed in the disciplinare and registered in the electronic database — the declaration is self-certified and then verified, and the fees below are paid before the permit is issued. Holding a transit permit allows parking only under the rules of a separate managerial ordinance; it does not reserve a space.
Permits and fees
- Permanent permit — for periods beyond three months, renewed annually, EUR 15.00 secretarial fee per plate
- Temporary permit — from two to forty-eight hours for ordinary access, up to three months for exceptional and justified cases, EUR 5.00 per plate
- Certain categories identified by council resolution are exempt from the fee
- Applications can be filed at the ZTL office at S.S.T. S.p.A., Via G. Poli 1, or online; renewals can now also be done at the SST desk
Any change of plate, or loss of the qualifying condition, must be reported within ten days. Transits after a permit lapses count as unauthorised.
Fines
The comune publishes no tariff of its own: unauthorised transit, and failure to report the loss of the qualifying condition, are sanctioned under the Codice della Strada, with the notice generated from the gate camera record.
Tips for visitors
- The 04:00 closing time in the warm season is the trap — arriving late at night does not mean the gate is open
- Check which of the four areas your address sits in; the gates are not interchangeable
- If you are staying in the centre, have the accommodation register your plate before arrival and keep the permit visible on the dashboard
Recent changes to this page
- Hours corrected against the Comune di Chioggia's ZTL permit rules: the seasons run 1 April to 31 October and 1 November to 31 March (not 1 May to 30 September), the gates stay live until 04:00 rather than 01:00, and Sundays and public holidays start two hours earlier at 09:00. Added the four zone areas and their gates, the EUR 15 and EUR 5 permit fees and the 2027 renewal notice; removed the Daily 09:00-20:00 key fact and the flat EUR 83 penalty claim.
- Title, description and introduction rewritten from this page's own data (no shared template wording).
- Corrected access basis to permit/residency (not Euro class) and re-verified fine (EUR 83) against Italy authority portal.
- Confirmed ZTL permit required remains mandatory; 2026 ruleset unchanged.
- Updated enforcement procedure notes after seasonal review cycle.
