Traffic
If you decide to rent a car or to come to Roma by car we suggest to get a map and information about traffic. On "ISORADIO" there are useful radio news on traffic; sometimes during each day, the news are supplied in more than one language.
Anyway, if you decide to drive on italian roads you will be rewarded with the beauty of the landscapes: you will see hills, mountains, lakes, seas within few miles. Roads are generally well maintened; toll highways are the best even if the lanscape is more plain. See Useful page for limits and suggestions.
Downtown Roma you will find yourself in the traffic which usually afflict big cities with, in addiction, some restrictions due to the preservation of art sites. The city are is surrounded by a ring road called "Grande Raccordo Anulare" (GRA): in peak time you will see a typical traffic jam with long tails of cars. Traffic congestion can afflict also downtown, due to permanent cycling maintenance of the historical sites.

Traffic restrictions
In same days of the week there are some traffic restrictions: you are not allowed to drive downtown Rome, unless you are a resident or you have a special permission.
The so-called "Limited Traffic Zone" have been equipped with electronic access detection devices, which "read" the plate numbers of vehicles illegally accessing the Zone and the vehicle owners will receive a fine at home.
All tourists wishing to drive to downtown hotels by their private car should first contact the hotel management in order to avoid the fine.
