Molfetta’s Zona a Traffico Limitato works entirely on permit and residency. Puglia runs no regional Euro-class scheme on top of it, so your car’s emission rating plays no part in whether you can enter. Cameras cover the centre weekdays 08:00-20:00, and driving in without authorisation is punished under article 7 of the Codice della Strada, which sets a range of EUR 83-332.

Molfetta ZTL - Zona a Traffico Limitato
The Zona a Traffico Limitato in Molfetta is a camera-enforced access zone in the historic centre. Entry is granted to residents and permit holders, and cameras read every plate and check it against the authorised list. There is no emission threshold anywhere in the scheme.
Who can enter
- Residents with a permit
- Hotel guests (give your plate to the accommodation so it can be registered)
- Disabled badge holders
- Authorised permit holders for loading, deliveries and other eligible categories
Permit
A ZTL permit or a registered plate is what gets you in; a day pass is available for eligible visitors. No emission sticker exists for this zone, and none is sold for it.
Operating hours
Weekdays 08:00-20:00. Outside those hours the gates are open to general traffic.
Penalty
Because Molfetta publishes no local tariff, an unauthorised entry is penalised under the national rule. Article 7, comma 14 of the Codice della Strada sets EUR 83-332; the reduced payment made within the deadline is the bottom of that range, and it rises if the notice goes unpaid.
Tips for visitors
- Do not drive into the historic centre unless your plate is registered or you hold a permit
- Staying overnight? Send your plate to the hotel before you arrive, not after
- With a rental car, park outside the ZTL and walk in - the rental company will pass on the notice plus an admin fee
- Check the sign at the gate: the varco display shows whether the zone is live at that moment
