Livorno ZTL 2026: A Round-the-Clock Core, Night Zone A
Zona a Traffico Limitato (ZTL) · Italy · Active since 2019
Source: official source · Verified: 2026-10-01
Livorno's centre is a permit ZTL, not an emission zone. The H24 zone runs 00:00-24:00 and ZTL A only from 20:00 to 05:00, with zones B, C and D following their own orders. Fine: EUR 83-332.
Locally the zone is called Zona a Traffico Limitato Livorno (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.

Livorno’s restricted centre is drawn around permits, not Euro class, and its two headline zones work in opposite directions. The zone the comune labels “H 24” is closed 00:00 to 24:00 — Via Buia, Via Falcone e Borsellino, Scali delle Pietre and the streets around the Duomo quarter. ZTL A is a night zone, 20:00 to 05:00, covering Via della Venezia, Scali delle Barchette, Piazza Anita Garibaldi, Piazza S. Trinita, Via Sant’Anna and Via degli Ammazzatoi. Zones B, C and D follow their own municipal orders (comune.livorno.it).
Your case: If your hotel is in the Venezia quarter you are in ZTL A, where the restriction starts at 20:00 — the opposite of what a daytime-hours assumption would tell you. Check Livorno and your own vehicle in the emission zone checker.

Livorno’s limited traffic zone
Livorno’s controlled centre is a Zona a Traffico Limitato, not a Euro-emission LEZ: how new or clean your car is does not decide anything. What decides is whether your plate is authorised, through a permit or the white list held by the Comune.
The zones, and what they do
- ZTL “H 24” — closed round the clock: Via Buia, Via Falcone e Borsellino, Via Mons. Filippo Ganucci, Via della Madonna between Scali delle Pietre and Scali del Vescovado, Scali del Monte Pio, Via dei Pescatori, Scali del Pesce, Scali delle Pietre, Scali del Ponte di Marmo, Scali del Vescovado, Via Traversa
- ZTL A — 20:00 to 05:00: Via della Venezia, Scali delle Barchette, Piazza Anita Garibaldi, Piazza S. Trinita, Via Sant’Anna, Via degli Ammazzatoi, Via Forte San Pietro
- ZTL B — Via delle Galere, Via Alessandro Pieroni, Via della Posta, Piazza del Municipio
- ZTL C — the Buontalenti quarter, from Via dei Cavalieri to Via Serristori
- ZTL D — around Piazza Ilio Barontini, Via del Bastione and Piazza Elia Benamozegh
Separate pedestrian areas and controlled-parking zones (ZSC) overlap these, so the sign at the entry remains the operative instruction.
How access works
There is no sticker to buy. You either hold a permit or have your plate added to the authorised white list through the Comune di Livorno. Permit categories run well beyond residents: businesses, accommodation providers, visiting guests, doctors and midwives, vets, journalists, driving schools, consulates and social cooperatives all have their own route in.
Fines
Cameras read every plate that enters. Driving in without a valid permit or white-list authorisation brings EUR 83-332 under article 7, paragraph 14 of the Codice della Strada, cut by 30% if paid within five days. Since 14 December 2024, article 198, paragraph 2-bis counts repeat camera detections in the same ZTL on the same calendar day as a single fine, even when the zone’s hours run past midnight. Entering two different zones on one day can still mean two fines.

Frequently Asked Questions
No sticker exists for Livorno. The restricted area is a Zona a Traffico Limitato: entry is granted by permit or by having the plate white-listed, not by your car's Euro emission class.
It depends on the zone. The zone marked H24 runs 00:00 to 24:00, and ZTL A is a night zone from 20:00 to 05:00. ZTL B, C and D each have their own rules set by municipal order, shown on the signs at the entry.

Driving into the camera-controlled ZTL without a valid permit or white-list authorisation brings the Italian ZTL penalty of EUR 83-332 (Codice della Strada art. 7, para. 14), reduced by 30% if paid within five days. Since 14 December 2024, repeat camera detections in the same ZTL on the same calendar day count as one fine (art. 198, para. 2-bis).
The zone is permit-based, so an electric vehicle needs the same eligibility or authorisation as any other car. Check with the Comune di Livorno for category-specific concessions.
