Driving Tips for Parma
When you rent a car in Parma, there are some things you should keep in mind in order to make your trip worthwhile.
Traffic rules in Parma
- ZTLs: ZTLs, or limited traffic zones, are present in Parma and other Italian cities. These are restricted areas that you can’t drive in unless you have a special permit. Keep your eye out for signs marking ZTLs and avoid driving through them.
- No right on red: In Parma and the rest of Italy, it is illegal to make a right turn at a red light.
Parking in Parma
- Free street parking: Free street parking does exist in Parma—look for the white lines marking the spaces.
- Paid street parking: Paid street parking is marked with blue lines—it’s a good idea to keep coins on hand to pay the meters.
- Public lots and garages: You’ll find plenty of lots and garages both in the city center and on the outskirts. These are more reliable options, although they will be a little more expensive than parking on the street.
These and our other tips for driving in Italy should make your journey a breeze.
