Zona a Traffico Limitato · Italy · Active since 2009
Source: official source · Verified: 2026-09-30
Lodi sits in Lombardy's Fascia 1, so diesel needs Euro 5 and petrol Euro 2 on weekdays 07:30-19:30. The Euro 5 diesel ban, deferred to October 2027, does not extend to Lodi.
Locally the zone is called Zona a Traffico Limitato Lodi (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.

Recent changes to this page
- Lombardy's Euro 5 diesel ban for Milan, Brescia, Monza and Bergamo did not start on 1 October 2026: the region deferred it to 1 October 2027 (regional decision 6846 of 28 September 2026, after decree-law 167/2026). Nothing changes here.
- Fine corrected from EUR 83-160 to EUR 83-332, the range Codice della Strada art. 7 c.14 sets for unauthorised ZTL entry (text checked on Normattiva); paying the minimum within 5 days gives EUR 58.10 (art. 202).
- Verified against Regione Lombardia's permanent air-quality measures on the eve of the 1 October 2026 diesel step: that step names Milan, Brescia, Monza and Bergamo, so Lodi is not swept in and the page now states it plainly. The key-facts rows still carried petrol Euro 1 and diesel Euro 3 while the rest of the page said Euro 2 and Euro 5; the table now matches the Fascia 1 rule.
- Title, description and introduction rewritten from this page's own data (no shared template wording).
- Corrected enforcement hours to Monday–Friday 07:30–19:30 (Lombardy Fascia 1 schedule); re-verified fine (EUR 83-160) against Italy authority portal.
- Confirmed ZTL permit required remains mandatory; 2026 ruleset unchanged.
- Updated enforcement procedure notes after seasonal review cycle.
