Driving Tips for Bologna
Drive like a local with our recommendations for navigating the roads of Bologna:
- Local Drivers: Italian drivers are known for their assertive style of driving, but they’re also considerate. Stay in your lane and don’t sweat the small stuff.
- Headlights: Always switch your headlights on if it’s raining or when visibility is poor.
- Speed Limits: The speed limit in Bologna’s city areas is usually 50 km/h (31 mph). However, expect speed limits of 130 km/h (81 mph) on the toll roads.
- * Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL):* Like many cities in Italy, Bologna has limited traffic areas to combat traffic congestion and pollution. Talk with your SIXT agent to learn about the prohibited areas and enforced times.
- Narrow Roads: As an ancient city, many of the roads in Bologna date back to Medieval times and are quite narrow. Watch your mirrors as you drive and keep an eye out for cars coming in the opposite direction.
