Manfredonia’s ZTL shuts out unauthorised vehicles 00:00-24:00, every day. The 06:00-10:00 and 14:00-16:00 loading windows are not open hours for everyone: they belong to permit holders. Access rests on an authorised-vehicle list plus a 3.5-tonne weight limit, with no Euro-class test anywhere in it. The municipal regulation names no tariff of its own, so article 7, comma 14 of the Codice della Strada applies: EUR 83-332.

Manfredonia ZTL - Zona a Traffico Limitato
The Zona a Traffico Limitato in Manfredonia restricts who may drive into the historic centre. It is a permit zone, not an emissions zone: your Euro rating decides nothing here. Cameras read every plate and check it against the list of authorised vehicles, and vehicles over 3.5 tonnes are excluded regardless of permit.
Who can enter
- Residents with a valid permit
- Hotel guests (register your plate at your accommodation)
- Disabled badge holders
- Businesses and delivery vehicles with an authorised permit, inside their loading windows
Permit
A ZTL permit or plate registration is required, and a day pass is available. Eligibility, not emission standard, is what the system checks.
Operating hours
The restriction applies 00:00-24:00, daily. There is no evening or weekend opening for general traffic. The 06:00-10:00 and 14:00-16:00 slots exist for permit-holding loading and unloading.
Penalty
Article 7, comma 14 of the Codice della Strada sets EUR 83-332 for entering a ZTL without authorisation. The reduced payment made within the deadline is the bottom of the range; it climbs if the notice is ignored.
Tips for visitors
- Sort the permit or plate registration before you drive in - there is no barrier where you can pay on the spot
- Staying overnight? Ask the hotel to register your car, and confirm they have done it
- With a rental car, ask how the company handles ZTL notices; the admin fee usually lands on your card
