Many cities, even those with exemplary mass transit, are struggling with the adverse impacts of too many automobiles within their dense city centers. Road user charges and urban pricing are increasingly common throughout the developed world to address this problem, although their primary goals range widely from financing new infrastructure to reducing automobile congestion to reducing environmental degradation. A related but separate concept, which is very common in European cities, is the pedestrian-only street where all motorized traffic is prohibited. The purpose of this article is to acquaint readers with the Italian approach to limit traffic in the city center known as Zone a Traffico Limitato (ZTL), or traffic-limited zones.
