Most polluting vehicles banned from driving in Rome from 2-4 January.

Rome has banned the most polluting vehicles from circulating within the city’s fascia verde or green belt (the area inside the GRA ring road) from Monday 2 January to Wednesday 4 January - inclusive - from 07.30 to 20.30, as part of anti-smog measures.

The three-day restrictions affect two-, three- and four-wheel 2 and 4-stroke PRE-EURO 1 and EURO 1 vehicles, as well as EURO 2 petrol-driven vehicles.

The city says the measures are necessary to reduce high pollution levels which currently exceed the smog limit.
